The phalanxes were equipped with short-swords and large square shields. They formed a square, and locked into place. Each phalanx was commanded by a single commander, who, with a call of "Testuedo!" would order the men into position. It took a few hours, but they got it in the end. They would then use their short-swords to jab out of the shield, the whole phalanx slowly moving forward. They were efficient and deadly. Eventually, Audax, the field general, ordered the groups into two; traditional and testuedo. As the trads moved towards the testuedo, they were absolutely decimated. The formations had very few weaknesses, all of which Talion's army could counter with magic.
