Why is the spear suitable for mass production? It's because you just need to attach a spearhead to a stick, but nowadays such simple weapons can't hold up at all, and once the spearhead is chopped off, it's just a stick.
The spear can indeed keep the enemy at bay, but a weak phalanx can't stop the brutal Fishmen. Once those Fishmen swing their knives and chop off the spearheads, the spears have little space to stab when they get close.
As if sensing the humans starting to fall into a disadvantage, the Elite Fishmen, clearly taller, stronger, and even with more profound scales mingling among the Fishmen, began to take action.
They, relying on their thick scale armor, paid no heed to the spears, waving their sailor's knives as they charged into the ranks, chopping off spearheads, and closing in to slash at the militia.
