(This chapter is 723, the chapter number is wrong!)
In the strange aspect, the Stealth Blade Insects that hid their figures and energy were approaching the fifth group of attackers little by little.
They didn't know how to use energy attacks, nor did they know any long-range attacks, so they only relied on their blade-like forelimbs.
They didn't just look like a big sword, they had sharp blades like a big sword, but this sharpness was somewhat different from what most people understood.
If one only looked at the shape of their blades, they weren't sharp at all. Instead, they were quite blunt.
However, when the Stealth Blade Insects attacked, their blade-like forelimbs could be covered with a layer of special energy, so that wherever they passed, even space would be cut open, just like the Federation's space-type attack method.
Even if it was a huge interstellar battleship, as long as it didn't have a space-type shield or above, it would only end up being cut in half with a swing of its forelimbs.
And it was precisely because of these powerful characteristics that this high-level Stealth Blade Insect, which was improved and cultivated by Aliya more than ten years ago, became one of the three major combat insects of the Zerg today.

"Commander Elio, I think there's something wrong with the Zerg's fighting style!"
"What do you mean?"
Lin Yu had been here for three minutes. After observing the battlefield again, no matter how he looked at it, he felt that something was wrong.
So, he immediately contacted Elio.
In fact, it wasn't just Lin Yu, Elio also felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't find a reason for the Zerg to do this. It was really a bit of a headache.
"It's like this. As far as I know, the Insectoid Royal Guardian Insectoids are one of the strongest combat insectoids below the Insectoid King Insectoid. There aren't as many of them as ordinary combat insectoids. However, based on the current situation, Commander Elliot, your deployment is quite perfect. These ten Royal Guardian Insectoids have no chance of breaking through the defense line."
"If these are just ordinary low-level combat insects, then everything can be explained, but as I said just now, the Imperial Guard Insects are very few in number even in the Zerg Race."
"Then, under the premise of knowing that they won't succeed, they still let these Imperial Guard Insects go for free like ordinary combat insects. There must be something wrong with this!"
Lin Yu explained his concerns, and when Elio heard it, it was indeed the same as what he thought.
Based on this point alone, it was indeed very strange!
However, even though he knew that this was very strange, and Elliot had also strengthened his scanning of the entire area, he did not find any problems.
Therefore, he really couldn't understand why Aliya would send these precious insect guards to him for free.
"Yes, I also considered this point and immediately conducted a comprehensive scan of the entire star field, but I didn't find anything!"
Elliot nodded and said.
However, after hearing Elio's answer, Lin Yu frowned deeply. He raised his right hand and rubbed his chin as he began to think.
As his father's old subordinate, Lin Yu had known Elio since he was young, so he was quite familiar with him.
This was an extremely cautious and reliable commander of the Federation. Lin Yu naturally believed his words, but here came the problem …
What was the goal of the insectoids?
No, no, he should change his way of thinking!
If there really is a problem here, then it means that Aliya is using the Imperial Guard Insects to attract our attention. In other words, the ten super Zerg swarms that are currently fighting are just cannon fodder and bait. The real killing move is elsewhere!
However, Elio already said that he repeatedly scanned and monitored the entire battle area, but he didn't find anything.
Well, if this is the premise, then Aliya's backup plan must be something that can escape our scanning and monitoring. Then, does the insectoids have such a thing?
Speaking of which, there is such a thing, and it is recorded in the Federation's database, the Hidden Saber Insect.
It was a special type of combat insect that once appeared and fought with the Fearless fleet on the Weta Defense Line!
However, there was a bigger problem here, and that was …
In these few minutes, Lin Yu had carefully observed Elio's deployment. He had to admit that even if it was Lin Yu, he wouldn't be able to do a better job in this aspect.
Especially when he saw Elio's firepower detection against the Hidden Saber Insect, as well as the possible phase-type defensive measures, Lin Yu couldn't help but sigh. Perhaps in terms of defense alone, Elio's ability was not much worse than his grandfather, Liang Xingchen!
Of course, this wasn't the main point, the main point was …
Since Elio had already done a comprehensive firepower detection, it meant that the Hidden Saber Insect couldn't have appeared!
Although the Hidden Saber Insect could hide its body and the energy it emitted, it didn't mean that it couldn't be attacked. If Elio's continuous firepower detection didn't find anything, then the possibility of the Hidden Saber Insect's existence was very slim.
If it wasn't the Hidden Saber Insect, then what was it?
Wait …
At this moment, Lin Yu suddenly remembered what his father, Lin Fan, said during the battle meeting.
[Although we tried our best to prevent Aliya from obtaining the genes of the Purgatory Creatures during the war, the war affected so many areas after all. It was obviously unrealistic to completely prevent it.]
[Therefore, in this decisive battle, all commanders should be mentally prepared. The Zergs may have a new type of combat insect not recorded in our data, or an upgraded version of a combat insect recorded in our data!]
An upgraded version of a combat insect recorded in our data …
An upgraded version of a combat insect?
Hidden Saber Insect …
Firepower detection couldn't find it?
Phase-Switching ability?
After remembering Lin Fan's instructions, a bunch of scattered ideas suddenly formed in his mind. Finally, after these ideas were completely integrated, it seemed …
The answer was suddenly revealed.
Compared to the previous Hidden Saber Insect, the evolved Hidden Saber Insect had an additional phase-switching ability?
If this was the case, then everything seemed to make sense!
"Commander Elio, I have some new ideas!"
After ending his contemplation, Lin Yu raised his head and said to Elio.
-----
"Commander, the deployment is ready!"
"Then let's begin!"
"Yes, Commander!"
Two minutes had passed since the communication with Lin Yu. The flagship of the fifth attack group was busy at the moment.
More than ten Phase Bombs were urgently deployed and sent to the designated location, which meant that there were no Zergs in the area.
In Lin Yu and Elio's opinion, if their guess was correct, then the base area was the most likely place!
"The key has been entered, the security lock has
been opened, the Phase Bomb has begun the detonation procedure!"
"Three seconds before detonation … 2 … 1 … 0, detonate!"
