The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from The Dream-Quest of Unknown Kadath by H. P. Lovecraft: ordered reinforcements for this front from the party in the town,
and these had helped greatly in the earlier stages of the combat.
Then, when the western battle was over, the victorious survivors
hastened across to the aid of their hard-pressed fellows; turning
the tide and forcing the invaders back again along the narrow
ridge of the headland. The almost-humans were by this time all
slain, but the last of the toadlike horrors fought desperately
with the great spears clutched in their powerful and disgusting
paws. The time for javelins was now nearly past, and the fight
became a hand-to-hand contest of what few spearmen could meet
upon that narrow ridge.
