Tian Yuan Territory, central district.
Several spear-wielding troops patrolled round and round along the paths set by the lord, adding a touch of solemnity to this central area.
That is, if one ignored the militia's shabby outfits.
The militia were one-star troops. Their appearance and combat power were both superior to those of the Little Skeletons, but only by a limited margin. They wore no armor at all, only relatively thick clothing, and gripped wooden spears tightly in their hands. In battle, they performed their stabbing movements in a rigid, methodical manner.
Stabbing down hard was the militia's combat trick.
But once they evolved into two-star Spearmen, they underwent a complete transformation. Not only did they gain iron spears, they could also wear full sets of light armor, and one of them could deal with several Little Skeletons.
By the time they reached the Halberd Guard and Great Halberdier stages, they possessed grand halberds and battle armor that were luxurious... at least in appearance.
"Great Halberdier · Niu Si" "Rank: Rare Three Star" "Skills: Thrust, Heavy Chop" "Talent: Critical Strike (Great Halberdiers were skilled at discerning their enemies' weaknesses. Their attacks had a chance to deal a high amount of additional damage.)"
Niu Si was the one Mu Yuan had selected from among the militia for his outstanding aptitude.
As the Spearman unit's commander, he assisted Lu Liu with recruiting refugees and managing the territory's residents.
In Mu Yuan's view, his panel was rather ordinary, mainly because his talent was somewhat lacking.

Of course, it also depended on who was using it.
If Deathbone possessed the Critical Strike
