694. Unflinching

The one-handed battle axes carried by the Golden Lion Guard were nowhere near as long as the enemy's spears. What was more, their first priority was protecting the spearmen behind them, not charging forward to fight the enemy.

Therefore, they merely raised their shields to protect themselves as much as possible while doing their utmost to block the enemy spears.

In the end, battles between line infantry still depended on the spearmen of both sides. The Morland Soldiers were elite troops without equal in the world. With both hands, they thrust their spears forward with tremendous force, piercing through the enemy's iron armor.
