章 930: One Versus Three

The spear was also known as the king of melee weapons!

He said that spear was an unpredictable melee weapon; it could charge at the enemy with extreme speed and be withdrawn to the wielder's liking. It gave a person a sense of good protection when the person did not wield the spear. However, the moment the person wields the spear—all the enemies shall tremble before him!
