The armored creatures were trying to overrun the defenders of the north tower, and Wuyi pointed with his spear. "Charge!" he called. With the charge, the Red Daoist appeared too.
While the Red Daoist faced a few monstrosities, Wuyi was head to head with an armored monster the size of Baijian. The complex interlacing of its front armor over the interstices of its six armor plates was like an obscene mouth as the thing reared back, its whole strength bent on a single, crushing blow from its great hammer, its body bent like a bow with the effort.
He set his feet and took the blow on his spear, rotated the weapon on the pivot of his opponent's blow, and slammed the spear into the middle of its head. His spear penetrated the thing's face, and it spasmed.
