The sword, long hailed as the emperor of weapons, has always been cherished by the people of the Martial World. Thus, most Knights carry longswords on their backs. Some carry a pair, others three. The most extreme among them even carry an entire Sword Box, the densely packed hilts hinting at a fearsome killing intent long before a single blade is drawn.
Some carried hammers on their backs, some had Soft Swords concealed at their waists, some held long spears, and others wielded a pair of iron hooks. Such a motley collection. Forget the eighteen traditional weapons of war; Zheng Xiu counted no fewer than thirty different kinds just on the way up the mountain. Many were weapons that would fall into obscurity in later eras. It was a real eye-opener for him.
