Newman Galaxy, somewhere in the first main spiral arm.
This was what Lin Fan called the sixteenth candidate location. It was also where the seven Netherworld Corps were hiding.
The special nebula environment made this place an excellent hiding place. It was almost impossible to detect.
"How much progress has the fleet assembled?"
"Ninety-seven percent complete, Commander!"
"Well, the closer we get to the end, the more careful we have to be. Inform all attack groups that we'd rather be slow than attract the attention of the Zergs!"
"Yes, I understand!"
After that, Lin Yu walked to the porthole of the bridge and looked at the hyperspace channels emitting a blue light that constantly appeared in the void. Almost every second, there were warships being transferred from the ten attack groups to this place.
In order not to attract the attention of the insectoids, all of Newman's attack fleets had been stealthily mobilizing their warships bit by bit. Almost every time, they would arrange for only a few hundred or at most a thousand warships to leave quietly. In a fleet of five billion, this number was minuscule and would hardly attract anyone's attention.

Located between the first and second main spiral arms, the Lambard Arm.
This was a very inconspicuous arm, with a length of only 8,000 light-years.
However, at this moment, all the high-end forces of the Zergs were gathered here. Not only Aliya, but also 14 Imperial Bugs and a large number of high-level Zergs.
This force may not be much to the current Federation, but compared to a single attack group of the Federation, it was definitely much stronger.
Somewhere on the arm, Aliya, who had been sleeping for four days, finally opened her eyes.
Although the damage this time was not small, it was not a bad thing for Aliya. After waking up, Aliya suddenly discovered that …
Her evolution had taken a big step forward!
If one were to say that Aliya had just stepped into the Type 8 realm previously, then the current her was at least at the mid-stage of the Type 8 realm. If Lin Fan were to know about this, he would definitely grumble …
Are you a Saiyan who transmigrated?
"How's the situation on the frontline these days?"
Aliya looked at the Imperial Insectoids around her and asked through the Insectoids' mental network.
Although she was in a good mood because of her improvement, the war in Newman was the key. If she lost, then it would be useless even if she improved.
"Empress Aliya, the battle between the low-level insectoids and the Federation fleet is still ongoing. There won't be any obvious changes in the short term."
Speaking of which, in these four days, these imperial insects really didn't pay much attention to the battle on the front line. At most, they checked the general situation every day.
For them, although the frontline was completely suppressed by the Federation, the ones that died were only low-level combat insects. They didn't care at all.
Moreover, even if it was a one-sided slaughter, it would take more than a few days for the humans to completely annihilate the low-level insectoids, given the large number of low-level insectoids that the Insectoids had.
Hearing this, Aliya heaved a sigh of relief. It's good that nothing happened. Next, I have to figure out how to break out of this situation.
Through the spiritual network, he directly found an insect from each battlefield and shared its senses.
Hmm, it was still the same battle. Although the insectoids were being slaughtered one-sidedly, the situation was still in a stalemate.
'Wait a minute … Something's not right?'
But what was wrong?
Suddenly, Aliya felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't put her finger on it.
"Damn it, this is what you mean by no change?"
After a while, Aliya, who finally reacted, suddenly became furious.
However, the imperial insects were a little confused by Aliya's sudden outburst. Nothing had changed. It was the same as four days ago. What was wrong?
Aliya was furious as she looked at the confused Imperial Insects.
What a bunch of trash!
At this moment, Aliya had discovered that the human fleet on each battlefield was less than four days ago. About 10% of their forces!
Although 10% of the Federation's attack fleet was only 500 million warships, what about 10 attack fleets?
That was a total of 5 billion warships!
In addition to the Federation's Underworld Fleet that was still hidden somewhere, this force was enough to threaten Lampard's arm.
If in these four days, Lin Fan found out that she was hiding here, then …
"Not good!"
"Immediately lead all the insect swarms to …"
Just as Aliya sensed the danger and was about to respond …
It was too late!
-----
A large number of blue dimensional passages suddenly opened up all over Lampard's arm. One after another, the Federation fleets jumped out of hyperspace.
Then, a large number of zero-point missiles were fired before the Zergs could react. They exploded around Lampard's arm one after another.
"The first wave of attack has been completed. The entire fleet has fired a total of 78125 zero-point missiles. The effect of the attack is currently being evaluated!"
"However, during this wave of attack, we discovered a new type of combat insect. Although there aren't many of them, they are very powerful."
"Although we haven't completed a comprehensive evaluation, it is because of the existence of this combat insect that we can foresee that the effect of this wave of attack will be much lower than expected!"
In the bridge, Bai Xuan reported the battle situation while operating the terminal to display a video recorded from the frontline.
In the video, a zero-point missile was fired at a swarm of Zergs.
However, before it detonated, hundreds of strange combat insects that had never appeared in the Federation's database suddenly appeared here.
Moreover, almost at the moment before the zero-point missiles were detonated, these hundreds of strange combat bugs actually joined forces to release a super-large dark energy shield, protecting the entire swarm of bugs in it.
In the end …
After the zero-point missile detonated, it only killed a small number of insects that were not within the combined dark energy shield.
This situation made Lin Yu frown deeply.
If Aliya was the only one who could use dark energy, Lin Yu honestly did not care.
After all, Aliya was only an individual and could not affect the overall situation of the war.
But …
The current situation was that there were normal combat insects that could use dark energy and create dark energy shields. This … was not good news.
"Commander, the first wave of attack effect evaluation has been completed. It only reached 17% of our expected value!"
"Only 17%?"
This was even lower than what Lin Yu had estimated.
"It seems … there are quite a lot of these new combat insects!"
