Battle of Vilsert (16)

It was like clearing the fog of war in a game.

They could not see where the enemy was, nor did they know the enemy's scale. They could only bomb the area bit by bit.

Once they discovered Zerg signals throughout the coverage area of a Phase Bomb, they deployed more around it to cover a larger region, continuing until they detected the swarm's edge and annihilated every last bug.

Akat had been puzzled for a long time as to why the frontline war bugs were getting farther and farther from the human fleet. Then, his sensory link with the Stealth Blade Bugs was cut off once again. No matter how dull he was, he understood one thing now.

Something had gone wrong!

He hurriedly sensed the entire Stealth Blade Bug swarm, only to discover that the problem was far worse than he had imagined.

It was as though hundreds of holes had been punched through its body. Phase Bombs had exploded throughout the swarm, and entire swathes of war bugs had been buried in the Phased State.

"Stant, there's a problem!"

"What happened?"

Akat's voice was extremely anxious, but Stant, who was commanding the Royal Guard Bugs, had no idea what was happening in the Phased State and was deeply confused by his tone.

"The humans found us! They're using some strange weapon to slaughter them in the Phased State. Damn it, at least another billion Stealth Blade Bugs have been wiped out!"

"What?"

Stant was dumbfounded.

He deliberately scanned the human fleet and the defensive line that should have been under attack by the Stealth Blade Bugs.

There was not the slightest movement. Not a single warship was firing!

But Akat would not make something up. So how exactly were the humans attacking the Stealth Blade Bug swarm?
