You can create a menu item to show all articles from sub-categories.

Please follow the steps mentioned bellow.

Create, or edit a menu item

Menu Item Type: Category Blog

In Menu Item Settings: Blog Layout -> Choose Include Subcategories "ALL"

Choose a category: Choose sub-categories

Blog layout option: Leading Articles 1,  Intro Articles: 10 (or whatever you like)

 

The link will show as a category layout.
