Ten billion battleships of a level 7 civilization.
Perhaps this was a very large and powerful fleet in the eyes of the Federation, but in Aliya's eyes, it was so small.
120,000 years ago, when the Holy War had just begun, the fleet of the Saint Wei Empire had never been smaller than a hundred billion battleships. Even after they were defeated by the Zerg in the middle of the war, they had never had a fleet as small as ten billion battleships.
However, although the human fleet was small, as the leader of the Holy War against the Zerg, Aliya was very clear about the terror of a level 7 civilization. She would not underestimate them just because they only had ten billion battleships.
After all, the humans had the terrifying weapons that the Saint Wei Empire used at the end of the Holy War.
If the humans were to use them without restraint like the Saint Wei Empire, even she would not be able to withstand it.
Of course, if Aliya knew that the current humans only had a few galaxies and had not even gone to war with other galaxies, she would not have such worries. She would have done it directly.
"Hmm?"
All of a sudden, Aliya sensed something, and her surging Spiritual Force instantly surged.
"Emil, you dare to still be here!"
She sensed Emil's mental force, and his position was in the middle of the human fleet.
She gritted her teeth and could not wait to tear him into pieces. Even her face showed an angry expression similar to that of a human.
Suddenly, an order was transmitted through the Zerg's mental network.
The content was simple.
All the vanguard troops were to set off towards the Jal Galaxy!
After all, the insectoids under Aliya's command were too large. If the entire army were to move out, even if the small Jar Galaxy was crowded with insectoids, it would not be able to fit them all. Just the vanguard alone would be enough to fill the entire Jar Galaxy.
After receiving Aliya's order, 66 Zerg Kings in 66 galaxies immediately opened their nests and commanded their armies to set off towards the Jal Galaxy.
Of course, in the Kate Galaxy, Aliya also opened a nest passage and led her personal Zerg army and a large number of Zerg Kings to set off.

Vita Defense Line, garrison headquarters.
"Commander, the radar team has an urgent military report!"
"What happened?"
"Commander, just now, we used the void radar to detect a large number of traces of space movement. According to the energy pattern, there is a 98.7% probability that it is a nest passage!"
"Hive passage … Wait, did you just say a large number of them?"
"Yes, Commander. Currently, the number of detected stars is 67, and they come from every star system in the Myers Star System except for the Gars Star System!"
Sixty-seven of them, and they came from every galaxy in the Mel Galaxy Group, excluding the galaxy where the Dreadnought Fleet was located?
This was not good news!
The Federation was no longer as clueless about the Zergs as it had been in the past. With the help of that human "friend", they had a very deep understanding of the Zergs.
It was not easy for Rank 3 to 5 Insect Kings to open a tunnel to their hive. They did not have enough energy in their bodies to support such an operation. They had to rely on a large number of resources to do so.
Therefore, low-level insect kings usually would not use the tunnel unless there was a necessary reason.
Furthermore, what they needed was not a small number, but an enormous amount of resources.
Now, a total of 67 hive tunnels had been opened at the same time, and they came from 67 different galaxies. What did this mean?
This meant that the 67 tunnels were most likely opened by 67 Class 2 or even Class 1 insect kings!
"D * mn it, we miscalculated!"
After realizing this, Lin Tian's expression became somewhat unsightly.
He had thought that Aliya and her Zerg army would come directly to the Gars Star System. Therefore, he had spent an entire month setting up a surveillance network with no blind spots in the Gars Star System, so that when Aliya arrived, he would be able to obtain detailed data such as the size and combat power of her army.
However, he had miscalculated after half a day. Aliya did not come to the Gars Star System at all. Instead, she spread her forces out and went directly to the other 67 galaxies in the Myers Star System. From there, she went directly to the Vita Line of Defense.
That way, when Aliya arrived at the Gars Star System, she would immediately engage in battle with the Dreadnought Fleet stationed at the Vita Line of Defense.
Lin Tian still knew nothing about Aliya's Zerg army, and there was no way he could come up with a strategy to counter it!
"Begin the authorization process immediately. Give the flagship of each fleet the authority to use the Zero-Point Particle Equipment.
Tell all commanders that if there is any danger, do not hesitate to use it immediately! "
Lin Tian said with a serious expression.
"Also, help me calculate the arrival time of the Zergs!"
"Yes, Commander … According to the calculations, the Zergs will arrive in three to seven days!"
Three to seven days, huh?
Lin Tian thought about it, but he did not think of getting Emil to contact Aliya directly. After all, the conclusion from headquarters was to fight first, fight with all their might, and talk after the fight!
In human terms, that would be to use the fight to get the discussion started!
However, there was a big problem in the original plan that was placed right in front of Lin Tian.
That was, he had no idea about the opponent that was about to arrive and fight. He was in a state of complete ignorance.
"There is still time. Looks like I have to deploy that thing in advance …"
Lin Tian, who was in deep thought, suddenly muttered to himself.
Three days later, a huge tunnel to the hive appeared just ten AU away from the Vita Line of Defense. It was immediately detected by the galactic surveillance network that Lin Tian had set up.
A piercing alarm sounded immediately, and all fleets on the line of defense were ready for battle in just three minutes.
"It's finally here. Show me the image of the tunnel to the hive!"
"Yes, Commander!"
Following Vieruodis's operation, a virtual image appeared in the bridge a few seconds later.
It was a space crack that emitted a faint red glow. That was right, this was the tunnel to the hive.
Based on the size of the tunnel, the one that opened this tunnel was obviously a Zerg King of the same level as Alba.
This made Lin Tian frown deeply.
It seemed that Emil was right. Aliya, who had been hiding in the Wills Special Super Cluster for a hundred thousand years, had most likely cultivated a new generation of Zerg King.
The image in front of him confirmed this theory. After all, the only Zerg King on the surface was Emil, and Emil was in the hands of the humans.
Therefore, the only Zerg King that could reach this tunnel could only be the new generation that Aliya had cultivated!
Lin Tian did not have to wait too long before the Zergs began to appear from the tunnel. However, the image sent back by the surveillance network shocked everyone.
This neat formation, was it really the Zergs?
