Inside the bridge of the flagship United that was moving through hyperspace.
"Zero missiles have been successfully detonated. Target clearance rate: 100%!"
"Vanguard fleet entering the battlefield!"
"Deploying space disruption devices!"
...
"What about the movements of the Zergs in the outer circle?"
"Commander, the outer circle has begun to gather towards the scheduled landing point. There are at least 3,000 super Zergs. They are expected to make contact in 25 minutes!"
"Notify the vanguard fleet. Don't wait for contact. Take the initiative to attack. Within an hour, you must create a 10 AU safe zone for me!"
"Yes, Commander!"
"Radar team, have you found the first target's location?"
"No, Commander!"
"Continue searching. Inform me as soon as you find anything!"
"Understood!"
After the vanguard fleet exited hyperspace, the entire United's bridge began to get busy. All sorts of orders were issued from Lin Tian's mouth.
For now, there were no major deviations from the plan, but there were still some problems.
For example, they could not find Alba's location!
However, this was not a big problem. As Lin Tian said before, the main goal of this battle was to destroy the cocoons. As for the first target, it was only a secondary goal.
When Lin Tian's order was passed to the vanguard fleet, the entire fleet of one million warships immediately moved.
The range of a zero-point missile was about 5 astronomical units, which was a spherical area with a radius of 2.5 astronomical units.
Lin Tian's request was to create a safe zone with a diameter of 10 AU within an hour.
What did this mean?
It meant that not only did the vanguard fleet have to defend the current area, but they also had to attack a range of at least 3 AU. After all, when the fleet attacked, the Zergs were also pouring in. The moment the two sides came into contact, with the speed of the Zergs, they would be able to cover at least 0.5 AU.
There was another big problem here, which was that the number of warships was too small. It was extremely difficult for one million warships to control an area with a radius of 5 AU. As a result, each warship had to take care of a large area.
After all, this was the size of an array made up of one billion warships.
Lin Tian obviously knew this, but he also had his own confidence. This confidence came from the Fearless fleet, which was a fleet made up of warships that were equivalent to the later stages of a level 7 civilization!
After receiving the order, the vanguard fleet did not hesitate and directly spread out in a spherical formation with ten warships as the basic unit!
This scene also fell into the eyes of a certain bug that was hiding in the tunnel of the hive.
Ever since Li Cangqiong's attack, Alba had been a little afraid. After all, humans had Zero-Point Particle Weapons, which posed a great threat to him.
Not to mention the fact that the Zerg Particle Armor could teleport humans into the swarm in an instant.
Moreover, the humans had already seen through the spatial fault, so they might as well hide in the tunnel of the hive and wait for the royal guards to break out of their cocoons.
No wonder Lin Tian couldn't find Alba!
At that moment, Alba felt a little strange. Firstly, the appearance of the human fleet this time was completely different from the ones they had encountered before. If not for the Federation insignia on the hull of the ships, Alba would have thought that they were from another civilization.
Another reason was that the humans had sent too few battleships this time, only about a million of them.
And according to the strength displayed by the human fleets, a million warships definitely couldn't stop his endless swarm.
Not to mention, this small fleet did not gather together and use a dense battle formation to reduce the defensive area. Instead, they kept spreading out and showed signs of spreading out even further.
Alba simply couldn't understand this operation!
However, the next moment, Alba understood why the other party didn't choose to form a dense formation but spread out instead.
Just as the vanguard fleet moved according to Lin Fan's order, they had already opened fire.
It should be known that the Zero-Point Missile only swept an area with a radius of 2.5 AU, but the range of the Fearless fleet's secondary cannons could reach more than 3 AU, and the main cannons could reach up to 5 AU.
Therefore, all the swarm that was gathering was already within the range of the vanguard fleet's firepower.
Since that was the case, of course they would open fire. There was nothing to hesitate about!
The biggest difference between the main battleships of the Fearless fleet and the weapons used by the Federation's regular fleet was that because a level-6 civilization's research on space technology had not reached the level of complete mastery, they could only create weapons with a single purpose.
For example, space tearing, space piercing, space slicing, and so on!
However, the main battleships of the Fearless fleet were different. Late-stage level-7 civilizations had almost completely grasped space technology, and the cannons they created were no longer limited to a single space effect. Instead, they were called true space-type universal cannons. According to different battlefield environments, they could release different space-type attacks, allowing the battleships to adapt to different battlefield environments.
Of course, the Federation could not create such weapons. If he wanted to exchange for technology, Lin Fan had not reached the system's level limit and could only buy finished products, and the price was quite high.
The ten billion battleships he had equipped were already Lin Fan's current limit. It was impossible to increase the number of the Fearless fleet in the short term.
After all, it was enough to have the ability to protect themselves. More points should be used to obtain technology and upgrade their civilization level.
The attack that the fleet was releasing was a technology called space collapse. This was also the attack with the largest range that the Fearless fleet's battleships could release.
Of course, the range was large, but the power was somewhat small.
If the target used a space shield and had a relatively powerful energy source to support it, it would definitely be able to withstand at least three or five attacks.
However, how could these ordinary combat bugs have space shields?
Even ordinary energy shields were only possessed by some of the more advanced combat bugs.
In a corner of the void, a ten-battleship squad was moving forward quickly while continuously launching over-the-horizon attacks of more than two AU. On the space radar, the sea of bugs formed by a large number of bugs looked like they were being constantly gnawed away.
One moment, there was no more, and the next moment, there was no more!
There were only ten warships, but they were able to completely suppress more than half of the super bug swarm.
Not only was the swarm suppressed, but the swarm was also constantly retreating!
Of course, there was no such thing as fear in the minds of the combat bugs. Rather than saying that the swarm was retreating, it was better to say that it was because the Fearless battleships were annihilating the bugs too quickly, causing the bugs at the back to take more time than the bugs at the front to be annihilated.
This gave the impression that the swarm was constantly retreating.

In the tunnel of the bug nest.
Alba's six huge eyeballs were already opened to the maximum.
Hell, even the Saint Wei Empire's battleships were definitely not this strong without using the Zero Particle Armament!
