Pincer Attack

Old John felt an extreme headache coming on as he watched the phalanx formation placed at the entrance of the castle.

This kind of dense formation was most suitable for defending narrow terrain. Very few people could get past at once, and the opponent had large square shields that were almost unaffected by the long-range bows.

"Bull****!" John Senior cursed extremely indecently. "Charge up and kill them."

In this situation, the only way to get past was to do it forcefully.

Immediately the shield soldiers of Delpon came forward with their shields raised. They walked side by side, shielding themselves and their fellow soldiers tightly.

A troop of spearmen was right behind them.

It wasn't that they didn't want to use more men, but the entrance to the castle wasn't wide enough, and only four men could walk side-by-side at the same time.

Four shield soldiers advanced with heavy steps. They wore heavy armor and held iron shields.
