"Anyone who hires light pikemen knows exactly what they’re doing! The superior reach of their weapons allows them to strike before being struck, and their tight formations enable them to fight with more soldiers than other units armed only with spears. Who hasn’t heard of their well-earned reputation against the fearsome cavalry that terrorizes the battlefield?
Their solid ranks, bristling with pointed steel, make even the bravest knight and their steed think twice before approaching, denying mounted troops their usual advantage. Still not convinced, sir? Please, look at their banners, where their victories are proudly listed, each one endorsed by letters of recommendation.
These are veteran troops, my esteemed noble! We demand rigorous training from everyone who wishes to join this elite unit. Do not doubt, even for a moment, the value and effectiveness of these soldiers, gentlemen. The experience and discipline of our light pikemen make them a sure investment for victory!"
