"Mage squad, cease fire!"
"Long Spear Soldiers, advance fifty paces."
"Blade and Shield Soldiers, once the Long Spear Soldiers are in position, cover them as they attack the enemy Porcupine-men."
The commander adjusted his strategy once more. Since ranged attacks triggered the Porcupine-men's flying quills, he would switch to a melee assault.
...
As the Long Spear Soldiers moved up behind the Blade and Shield Soldiers, they prepared to adjust their formation.
The Steel-backed Porcupines had also drawn near and began to actively channel their energy.
Stimulated by the energy, barbs rapidly grew out one after another, then flew with a WHOOSH toward the Blade and Shield Soldiers and the Long Spear Soldiers behind them.
Because the distance was so short, the barbs reached the Blade and Shield and Long Spear Soldier ranks in an instant.
THWIP! THWIP!
