Chapter 140: Family Names and Genealogy
The fighting on the [bridgehead] is getting more and more intense.
New Destroyers are constantly burrowing into the protective nets and attacking the defenders.
Rambert II's 13th Legion faced such a ferocious opponent in its first major battle, and although it fought hard, it still suffered a lot of losses and was quite passive.
The ballista unit has been ordered to prioritize attacks on the Destroyers who break free from the protective net, but it is not easy for the ballistas to turn their muzzles, and enemies can enter the protective nets everywhere, so there are still many Destroyers who have escaped the blows of the ballistas and killed the defenders.
The only good news is that the hemp fiber mesh has withstood the test and has not been broken. All the Destroyers who came in were struggling to break free from the holes. As long as the net is not broken, there is a limit to how many enemies can get in.
Each of these hemp fiber protective nets and ropes is as thick as the head of an ordinary ant, and it is not easy to tear off the fine twine with both hands in the human world.
Although there were only sporadic Destroyers who came in, they did no small amount of damage to Rambo II II's 13th Legion, which was in charge of guarding it.
For almost every Destroyer killed, the 13th Legion paid the price of 3 warriors. You know, this is a defensive battle, and it is an exchange ratio under the enemy's almost alone charge, which is not terrifying.
The protagonist also has a lot of complaints about Rambo Buddha II's on-the-spot command, he is too passive.
The young corps commander had no more countermeasures than to keep his troops in the tightest circles, and then wait for the enemy to rush in and expect the troops to counterattack on their own.
Rambopho II was the first of the younger generation to become a legion commander, not because of how good he was among his peers.
The commander of the 15th Legion, Persimmon, and the commander of the 16th Legion, Riko, were of the same batch as Rambopho II, but they both performed better than him in their education, and they also performed very well in the southern swamps.
The reason why the protagonist was the first to promote Rambo Buddha II is that there is still an element of incense in it.
At the time of Rambofo's death, Rambo Buddha II, as one of the male ants born with Rambo Buddha blood, was given the family name of Rambo Buddha by the protagonist, and naturally he also looked up to him.
Inheriting the names and genealogy of his ancestors is also one of the protagonists' transformations of the ant world.
Before, there was no such tradition in the ant world, each newborn ant, whether it is a queen, a male ant or a professional ant, although theoretically it is a continuation of the genes of the previous generation of male ants and queens, but each male ant is independent, they are only responsible for themselves and the nest, once the male ant dies, and when the other individuals who still remember the male ant are all gone, this individual seems to have never come to this world. His life's experience and knowledge have not been passed on to other ants before, and there is no direct successor to pass it on.
The protagonist notices the shortcomings, coupled with the concept of family and blood inheritance of human beings, and even the fact that the male ants are too lazy to name in the face of more and more contact, and begins to give the important male ants under his command the concept of family and inheritance.
Of course, Rambo Buddha and Rambo Buddha II have not yet fully embraced this concept of the protagonist, and the protagonist plans to appoint a descendant who is related to him before the death of a male ant, and the male ant himself is responsible for the education of the younger generation, passing on his own experience and knowledge. This will be a beneficial supplement to male ant school education, and will also help to cultivate male ants with different personalities and specialties, which is beneficial to the inheritance and development of civilization.
Rambo II was born with his titular father, Rambo Ford, who had not received a separate education. But as a demonstration point of the protagonist's family concept, the protagonist still gives him more preferential treatment, and also adds his original feelings for Rambo Buddha, a "brother" of the same generation as himself. It was Rambo II who became the first senior in the same generation to become a legion commander.
In the future, there will be second, third, and fourth generations of the Rambo Buddha family, and other male ants will also have second, third, and fourth generations.
At present, Rambo II can only be said to be competent as a corps commander, not excellent.
His tactics are more like the tactics of the old big-headed ant kingdom, in the face of threats, he is constantly shrinking his troops, maintaining the formation, counting on the density and thickness of the formation to neutralize the attack, lacking flexibility and initiative.
The protagonist does not interfere with the command of Rambo II and the young commander must grow as quickly as possible in actual combat, too much intervention will only backfire. The most the protagonist can do is to point it out at the post-war meeting.
At this point, the protagonist's copper hammer has been carried over by a group of ants, holding the copper hammer, which makes the protagonist feel more secure.
At this time, with the spread of the "Ant's Head Wall", more and more destroyers have come in at the same time, and some destroyers have temporarily formed a battle group of two or three to cover each other.
The cost of trying to eliminate these battle groups is far greater than the combined cost of eliminating two or three individual destroyers.
The 13th Legion has already left a corpse on the ground, and as a new legion participating in the Great War for the first time, facing such a ferocious enemy is indeed a very difficult and rigorous test.
The Destroyer's huge body collided, its jaws cried, its limbs trampled on it, and the warriors of the Divine Messenger King bravely met it and besieged it with all their might. The two sides collided together, squeezed together, and bit together.
The battlefield was like an Asura slaughterhouse, with blood flowing all over the ground, soaking through the ant concrete under his feet, slippery internal organs, broken arthrops, and broken corpses all over the ground, and the two sides who killed the red eyes fought on this corpse and blood until the last breath of their lives.
There is no room for mercy on the battlefield, and even the 13th Army Corps, which is on the battlefield for the first time, must understand as soon as possible the truth that "no victory means death".
Although the 13th Legion tried its best to resist, the Destroyer's combat power was too strong, and the protagonist has observed that the formation of the 13th Legion is constantly retreating under the pressure of the enemy, and there is even a danger of being cut.
The Destroyer who had penetrated the deepest had almost reached the center of the military array where Rambo II was sitting.
At this moment, the second line of defense has not yet reached the moment of life and death, but if the 13th Army continues to fight like this, it may lose most of its essence.
Every recruit who survives the first battle will become a valuable veteran, and the protagonist doesn't want too many of these fighters to die in vain!
