tom swift among the diamond makers

  so now I have to talk about the band that never was less than 10,000 men at the ready. we are not given much about them but we do know that they were very fierce fighters. their captains led by example.charging and fighting with their men which a lot of captains did not do and there was never more or less than 10,000 they never had an empty spot because they had people that took places they either had. a spear or a battle-ax for their main weapon. for defense, they would be scaled armor and a long wicket shield. that would cover them from arrows and they also carried a short stabbing sword. for defense if necessary as a backup.
