Tens of men followed Saleem after, and they didn't join the scene empty handed even though the only protection they have is the cloth over their skin. Their marching against the ground thundered as if the Army counted over a thousand, they showed no sign of fear and they were charging towards the enemies head on.
As for the first spear, likely tossed by Saleem. It split through the air and bashed one of the enemy soldiers on the head. Now the damage wasn't completely fatal since he tossed it from quite a distance and unlike the Hatchetmen, this one was wearing an Iron Helmet.
The Spear hit his head, and knocked him down but his head wasn't penetrated. The Spear bounced off as impact was made against his head, and hit another Guard on the arm. Although cowardly, his scream of pain was equal to one who would take a shot to the head.
