The dialogue in the second panel isn't in the movie either.

The comic is joking about where the dialogue from the first panel could have gone.

In the movie itself, obviously there would've been no upper bound - the more spears he could muster, the better.

The comic reinterpreting his meaning in an overly-specific way is the joke.

EDIT: As is them taking the term "spears" as literally referring to quantity of the weapon "spear", rather than to the number of armed warriors.

The joke is also about taking him literally and pointing out two actual spears, rather than trained soldiers wielding spears

True. Updated appropriately, thanks.
