The subtle tongue, the sophist guile, they fail when the broadswords sing.

"Wits and swords are as straws against the wisdom of the Darkness..."

If men are to meet steel with steel, they should be adequately armed. Long spears and short swords to meet a charge of long swords. If you dont believe that, read the chronicles of Rome and Macedonia.
