Dark Energy Protector.
This was a new type of combat bug that Aliya had bred using her blood that had been diluted hundreds of millions of times.
The Dark Energy Protector did not have any offensive capabilities, and they even looked quite cute. However, they had an extremely powerful defensive ability, the Dark Energy Shield!
Most importantly, the Dark Energy Protector could also jointly release a Dark Energy Shield, which would increase its coverage and defensive capabilities exponentially.
When Lin Yu led a large number of Federation fleets to attack Lampard's arm, Aliya saw that the main force of the Insectoids had no time to retreat. She had no choice but to use one of her trump cards.
She wanted all the Dark Energy Protectors to attack and save as many as possible.
The Insectoids in Lampard's arm were combat bugs, and they were the best of the best. There were absolutely no low-tier combat bugs that were cannon fodder.
These …
But they were Aliya's flesh and blood. If she could save them, she would save them. It would not be like an ordinary battlefield where it did not matter how many died.
Therefore, the Dark Energy Protectors that had been scattered and hidden in various Insectoid swarms began to move after receiving Aliya's order.
Except for a portion that did not have time to release the Dark Energy Shield when the attack arrived, the rest of the Dark Energy Protectors successfully protected the main body of the Insectoid swarm.
They were saved.
Therefore, both sides were very dissatisfied with the first wave of attack.
Lin Yu's dissatisfaction came from the fact that the originally well-planned surprise attack only achieved 17% of the expected result.
Aliya's dissatisfaction came from the fact that her Insectoids were too stupid. They did not notice the decrease in the number of human fleets for four days, which led to her being ambushed.
Although the Dark Energy Protectors minimized the loss, there were still a large number of high-tier combat bugs and some Dark Energy Protectors that were killed.
"Damn humans!"
Sensing the decrease in the number of high-tier combat bugs, Aliya could not help but curse in her mind.
"If that's the case, then … we'll start a full-scale war with the humans here!"
"Let all the Insectoids attack. There's no need to hide anymore. Destroy this human fleet with all your might!"
Through the Insectoid's spiritual network, Aliya's order was transmitted to every Insectoid.
It was not that Aliya did not consider retreating and not engaging the human fleet head-on.
However, whether it was an ordinary tunnel or his own scarlet tunnel, in short …
All transmission-type abilities could no longer be used.
Without guessing, Aliya knew that this was definitely the work of humans.
Since there was no way to retreat, then they would fight to the death with the humans here!
-----
At the same time, on the bridge of New Herlous.
"Commander, none of the Zergs are running away. Instead, they are gathering towards each of our groups. It looks like they are prepared to fight to the death with us!"
"That's normal. Aliya has no way out. This is the only choice she can make!"
Lin Yu had long expected Aliya's decision. Originally, he should have crushed the Zerg swarm in front of him and quickly pressed towards Aliya.
However, Lin Yu was unable to do so …
And the reason was the existence of the Dark Energy Protector.
This kind of combat bug was too troublesome, and Lin Yu didn't know where to start.
After all, the five billion warships that he brought were all conventional fleet groups. Although they were equipped with a large number of space-type attack devices, but …
Space-Type attacks were just space-type attacks, and they posed little threat to the Dark Energy Shield. Not to mention … the enemy was releasing a more powerful combined Dark Energy Shield!
"Deploy the Third to Seventh Legions within the five combat fleet groups to assist the conventional fleet in stabilizing the situation!"
"At the same time, the First Legion II remain hidden. Don't expose yourselves."
Lin Yu looked at the tactical board as he gave the order to Bai Xuan.
After thinking for a long time, the old strategy was still the most suitable.
The conventional fleet was responsible for standing at the front and engaging the Insectoids head-on, while the Underworld Fleet was hidden in the dark, ready to deal a fatal blow to the Insectoids and even Aliya.
Of course, to have this opportunity, Aliya had to let down her guard, even if it was just for a short moment.
Therefore, Lin Yu sent out five Underworld Legions to the five battlefields on Lampard's arm.
On one hand, the current fleet groups did indeed need the support of the Underworld Fleet. On the other hand, Lin Yu also wanted Aliya to believe that all of humanity's trump cards had been switched from the dark to the open. Only then could she let down some of her scruples about the Federation's Underworld Fleet and reveal some flaws.
"Tell the various legions that their target is the Insectoids' new combat bug. Don't waste your firepower on other things. Otherwise, if they overdo it and cause the combat team members to be mentally exhausted and unable to continue fighting, it will be a big problem!"
"Yes, Commander!"
In fact, the current situation was very awkward.
The conventional fleet's space-type attacks were very limited against the Insectoids protected by the Dark Energy Protector.
Although the Insectoids had the advantage of range, even if they were protected, they were still being slaughtered by the Federation's fleet. It was just that the speed of the slaughter was many times slower.
However, it was precisely because their killing speed was much slower that the Zergs were slowly closing in on the fleets. If the Zergs were to get within their firing range and engage in a firefight with the fleets, or if the Zergs were to get too close to the fleets, the Zergs would …
In short, if there were no countermeasures to deal with this, the Federation's casualties would be imminent.
Therefore, this was why Lin Yu asked the five Underworld Legions to focus on attacking the Dark Energy Protector and not waste energy on attacking the other combat bugs.
As long as the Dark Energy Protector was dealt with, the other Insectoids would not be a threat!
-----
While Lin Yu ordered the five Dark Energy Legions to attack, Aliya was also paying attention to every movement on the battlefield.
She knew about the Federation's Underworld Legion and also knew how powerful this fleet was.
However, since the start of the war between the humans and Insectoids, except for that one time on the first main spiral arm, this fleet seemed to have disappeared and never appeared.
However, Aliya was very sure that this fleet must be here at this moment, the place where the humans and Insectoids fought, the Balende Arm!
For Aliya, only by uncovering this hidden Underworld Fleet would she be able to use her trump card and turn the situation around in one fell swoop.
This was also the reason why Aliya had sent all the Dark Energy Protectors to protect the other Zerg swarms. Her ultimate goal was to force the Netherworld Fleet out.
Well, in short, one was setting a trap and the other was deliberately walking into it.
"Hmm?"
At this moment, Aliya suddenly noticed something.
The Underworld Fleet had appeared on every battlefield …
