The Dwarves crossing the river afterward donned several layers of iron armor and held round shields over their heads. Though this hindered their movements and slowed their march, it reduced casualties.
"Use armor-piercing arrows."
Upon hearing the order, the archers drew the armor-piercing arrows from their waists, drew their bows, and began a volley.
