Love and passion, cutting up the wasteland

"Is this... the Moon Cleaver?" Green's voice was full of curiosity and admiration.

The scimitar in front of me has a sharp arc, but it is curved inward.

This is a scimitar.

The hollowed out part looks like a half-moon.

This is where it gets its name.

It can also be called 'Moon Blade'.

Green Green, who had been a black converter, was no stranger to this. Most of the melee troops in their organization are equipped with this kind of internal scimitar.

But the one made by Lu Meng was different from any moon blade knife he had ever seen.

Not only is it sharper and thicker, it is also more slender.

After the carbonized scum is wiped off the surface, without polishing, it shows a bright silver color, just like the white moon in the sky at night.

Cang Cui is a crossbowman and doesn't understand the sword.

But even as a layman, just by looking at it, you can understand its extraordinary quality.

"Yes," Lu Meng admitted, "I just made some improvements."

He carefully attached a two-hand handle to the Moon Blade Knife, lifted it and walked to a table.

On top of it were several discarded breast shields made by the blacksmith. They were stacked together. In terms of thickness, they were already equivalent to two sets of ordinary heavy armor.

Lu Meng raised the knife and dropped it.

A burst of sparks flashed out, the breast shield cracked, and the iron pieces shot out.

The bulge of the moon blade penetrated the table and sunk a few inches deep.

Lu Meng was very satisfied.

He hasn't done his best yet.

The scimitar is a design with a long history in human history. The most common ones nowadays are agricultural tools such as sickles and hatchets. In the swamp, the popularity of moon blades among black converts may have something to do with this.

Its advantages are obvious.

That is, it is ergonomic, easy to exert force, and the force is concentrated when hitting the target. As long as you maintain normal swinging movements, you can achieve the effect of dragging and cutting or even puncturing, and the lethality is huge.

This is reflected to some extent by the fact that farmers use sickles to cut wheat instead of straight knives.

Reflected on the weapon, the moon blade has extremely strong armor-breaking ability.

It is comparable to a mace, and is completely effective against heavily armored enemies. It feels like a battle ax when slashing.

However, the shortcomings of the scimitar are also significant.

It's too heavy.

Because the center of gravity is forward, in order to ensure the cutting effect, the Moon Blade Knife can only continuously widen the blade. At the same length, its weight is much higher than other machetes, let alone sabers and light knives.

For example, the moon blade used by the black converter is often about the same length as a hatchet in order to match the physical fitness of the gang members, which is very suitable for use in the jungle.

Making it longer is not only a test of weight, but also the material of the blade.

Otherwise, even if it can be swung, the sword will break by itself.

But the moon-blade knife made by Lu Meng was thick and long. In Cang Cui's eyes, it was almost as tall as a bee like him.

Watch him make this cut.

The worker bee felt as if he was being caught by a giant.

Quite psychologically shocking.

This is what Lu Meng can do.

And its power should not be underestimated. After a brief evaluation, Cang Cui found that it was equivalent to treating any armored enemy as nothing.

——Of course, this is only for ordinary enemies.

If the opponent is wearing more advanced armor, the situation is different.

However, in Cang Cui's impression, there are no such people in the swamp.

Most of the gang members wore leather jackets, leather armor, and even bamboo and wood armor. He felt that Lu Meng was making a fuss.

"Skeleton Craftsman's improved model, MK1." Lu Meng wiped the blade and it was as clean as new.

He also tried several times and used up a lot of high-quality knife materials, and finally got the hang of it.

The [Weapon Forging] skill has also reached the 'expertise' level above level 40.

Maintenance of curved knives like the moon blade is also a problem.

Concentrated force also means that it is prone to shock and wear.

In order to reduce loss, it can only be designed to be less sharp, and blunt injuries and cutting injuries can be balanced.

But all this can be solved with technology.

With Lu Meng's physical fitness, the heavier sword is suitable for him to perform.

Although the average Son of the Scorched Earth is often lacking in strength, when developed to the extreme, they can only seek agility and speed like the Shadow Man.

But these have nothing to do with Lu Meng.

His experience multiplier was completely overflowing. After adding the bonus speed attribute to his talent, he used the remaining time to increase his strength. Otherwise, it would be a waste caused by diminishing marginal effects.

In addition, you should have adequate nutrition, eat well and drink well, and do not treat yourself badly.

The result is that Lu Meng's body is strong, healthy and agile, with balanced development in all aspects. If it were not for the influence of his hair color, it would be difficult to tell that he is a son of the scorched earth from a distance.

"How are you preparing?" He looked at Green Green.

This worker bee crossbowman was not sick, but had been following the instructions, secretly selecting and selecting manpower.

Even without the help of the swamp ninja, they can still move.

But now, apart from the current enemies, Shi Zhen finally has nothing to worry about.

"You can leave at any time." Cang Cui pressed her chest and bowed.

These days, he has also witnessed all the arrangements.

In Lu Meng's team, there were many swamp people from various villages.

They have now led their respective teams, escorted by the swamp ninjas, to their hometowns to try to take over these former vassals of the Stone Rats.

This time, it's corrected.

The swamp ninja turned out to be myself.

There is no doubt that Lu Meng's conditions are more favorable.

As a member of the village, the swamp people were happy to tell their families the news.

Perhaps, a new era is coming.

But whether it can hold on depends on the next variables.

There are also many swamp villages that have already switched to the old swamp forces such as the Black Converters and the Double Blades in advance.

Direction to Huangshui Village.

When the Stone Rat Regiment's camp had just been captured, Lu Meng had already sent someone to reply in advance.

Kang, his friend Shaq, should be coming in this direction.

Maybe we can meet up with Seokjin’s past team.

But Lu Meng didn't plan to wait any longer.

They will leave early.

This process is confidential and is only known to everyone involved in the operation and a few key teammates. It is also to avoid leaks and causing turmoil.

When Kang arrives in Shizhen, he will know the news and arrangements left by Lu Meng, and can also help manage Shizhen and train new recruits.

As a former police officer in Shaq, there is no doubt about his professionalism in working in a military town like Scone.

The experienced Kang is actually more suitable than Lu Meng.

Before that, Hamut would have to be troubled.

This man with a wandering nature was originally ready to leave again after seeing that Ase was fine, but after hearing Lu Meng's request, for some reason, he agreed without hesitation.

It’s just that Hamut put forward an additional commission: I hope Lu Meng can find a bee named Silver Shadow after arriving at Shark Village.

It seemed like there was something he wanted to ask, but he didn't say anything.

It is said that as long as you mention it, the other party will naturally know it when the time comes.

At that time, Lu Meng didn't ask any questions and agreed calmly.

When everything was ready, the door suddenly opened.

"Let's go!"

A little girl with a bone-horned head holding a knife pushed open the door against the light and said in an angry tone: "By the way, there is one more thing -"

"Lu Meng, the book on swordsmanship you gave me... is full of mistakes and omissions!"
