God Soldier Atlas

Chapter 6 The Name of the Knife

Don't talk too much later, do whatever I ask you to do, do you understand?

In a carriage, Xiao Zongshui said in a deep voice.

Zhou Shu sat opposite him, nodded and said, Understood.

The carriage rushed forward. Although Zhou Shu was sitting in the carriage, his heart had already flown outside the carriage.

If Xiao Zongshui wasn't here, he would have stuck his head outside long ago.

It has been a while since he came to this world. Zhou Shu has never left the workshop of the Casting Division. He is really curious about the grand scene of the Great Xia Imperial Capital.

In Zhou Shu's imagination of the Great Xia Emperor's Capital, the carriage ran for more than an hour before stopping.

Xiao Zongshui got out of the carriage first, followed by Zhou Shu who also jumped out of the carriage.

What he saw was not the bustling imperial capital he imagined, but a wilderness.

Here is a valley, surrounded by green hills, not far away, a military camp stands there.

Barracks?

Zhou Shu's heart skipped a beat.

The relationship between the Casting Division and the barracks should be that all the weapons cast by the Casting Division are supplied to the three armies of the Great Xia. What did Xiao Zongshui bring him here?

Although he was a bit puzzled, Xiao Zongshui had already said before, don't say what shouldn't be said, don't ask what shouldn't be asked, so Zhou Shu didn't ask.

He followed behind Xiao Zongshui, silently observing the surrounding environment.

When he came to the gate of the barracks, Xiao Zongshui was released after showing his token.

In the barracks, groups of soldiers were practicing in full swing. Zhou Shu saw nothing unusual about the way they were practicing, except that they were constantly hacking and chopping.

Xiao Zongshui seemed to be very familiar with this military camp, he led Zhou Shu across the school grounds, and came to a large tent.

General Cheng, Xiao Zongshui asks to see you!

Xiao Zongshui raised his voice.

come in.

A rough voice came.

Xiao Zongshui winked at Zhou Shu before entering the big tent.

Zhou Shu followed closely behind. As soon as he entered the big tent, he saw Xiao Zongshui saluting a burly general.

See General Process.

Xiao Zongshui's posture was very low, and his body was almost at ninety degrees.

His immediate boss was like this, so Zhou Shu naturally didn't want to appear too maverick, so he could only concoct according to the law and salute with fists clasped.

no.

General Cheng waved his hand, shifted his eyes from the sand table to Xiao Zongshui, and said with some doubts, Master Xiao has gone and returned, why?

General Cheng, Xiao Mou came here this time because of weapons. Xiao Zongshui said.

Of course I know it's for the weapons. General Cheng said, I'm dealing with your Army Casting Division. What else can I do besides weapons?

The weapons you brought don't meet my requirements. I won't choose your No. 97 workshop to supply weapons to my army.

General Cheng shook his head and said.

Zhou Shu was at a loss when he heard that, why does it feel like Xiao Zongshui is here to sell weapons?

Casting soldiers, cast soldiers, do they still have to produce and sell themselves?

Although Zhou Shu is the soldier casting apprentice of the soldier casting department, to be honest, the soldier casting apprentice is only the most basic existence of the soldier casting department, and he knows nothing about the operation method of the soldier casting department.

The only thing he needs to know in the Military Casting Department is how many weapons he needs to cast every month. As for where the cast weapons go, the soldier casting apprentices have no way of knowing.

May I ask the general, have you selected your weapon?

Xiao Zongshui was not discouraged, and asked in a deep voice.

Not yet. General Cheng shook his head, Workshop No. 73, Workshop No. 86, and Workshop No. 89 have all sent a few weapons, but they are all not satisfactory.

This general was ordered to set up the imperial guards, responsible for protecting the safety of the palace. Naturally, we must be cautious in the selection of weapons.

Zhou Shu listened in a daze, and couldn't ask any questions, so he could only guess silently in his heart.

Zhou Shu knew about the workshops mentioned by General Cheng’s words. The Great Xia Military Casting Division has a total of 108 workshops, of which the first thirty-six workshops are all composed of formal military casting divisions. There are even master craftsmen who are responsible for casting high-quality weapons.

The 72 workshops after the 36th workshop, including the 97th workshop where Zhou Shu is located, are all responsible for casting standard weapons.

Different workshops are good at forging different weapons. Some are good at forging swords, some are good at making guns, some workshops have mastered the secret recipe of casting spears, and some workshops are full-time for making bows and arrows.

Workshop No. 97 where Zhou Shu works is good at casting knives.

General Cheng's words made Zhou Shu vaguely guess something.

This time, General Cheng was building an army, and the workshops of the Casting Division were all scrambling to supply him with weapons.

Based on his work experience in his previous life, it is easy to think that supplying weapons is a lucrative job.

Otherwise, Xiao Zongshui and the others wouldn't have come to snatch it.

General, the sword is the king of a hundred soldiers. In Xiao's opinion, it is the most suitable weapon for the Imperial Guard—

Xiao Zongshui opened his mouth and said.

Before he finished speaking, General Cheng interrupted him.

My words are very clear, Master Xiao, the knives you cast in Workshop No. 97 cannot meet my requirements.

The standard long knives you cast can be used to equip ordinary troops, but my guards are the best of the best!

General Cheng, you misunderstood. Xiao Zongshui shook his head and said, I know that the standard long knife I brought before won't catch the attention of the Fang family. So this time I brought a new knife that our No. 97 Workshop has painstakingly developed over the years. !

oh?

General Cheng didn't show too much interest. What kind of good weapons can a group of apprentices who are not soldiers builders develop?

Look, General!

The knife brought by Xiao Zongshui was held in front of General Cheng with both hands.

Zhou Shu could see clearly that the knife was the sharp standard long knife that Xiao Zongshui took away before, and he couldn't help rolling his eyes in his heart.

How did the knife that I forged myself become a new weapon that No. 97 Workshop has devoted itself to developing over the years?

This knife, what's the difference?

General Cheng took the long knife without interest, glanced at it, and said casually.

From the appearance point of view, the sharp standard long knife is the same as the ordinary standard long knife, and it is a single-edged straight knife similar to Tang knife.

Master Xiao, this general is very busy. If it's just the old weapon, you should go back.

General Cheng's expression was a little impatient.

Xiao Zongshui had tried all the standard long knives that Xiao Zongshui had brought before, but they couldn't meet his requirements at all.

If it weren't for the inevitable dealings with the Casting Division in the future, General Cheng didn't want to make too much trouble with the Casting Division, otherwise he would have kicked Xiao Zongshui out long ago.

General, this is not the standard long knife I brought over! Xiao Zongshui quickly explained, This knife is extremely sharp!

Haha—— General Cheng laughed loudly, Could it be that Mr. Xiao is entertaining the general? A knife, if it is not sharp, is it still called a knife?

General Cheng already wanted to see off the guests.

There is no evidence for what you say, let the general try the knife!

Xiao Zongshui spoke first.

General Cheng frowned and looked at Xiao Zongshui. After a long time, he said, Forget it, I will give you another chance.

Come on, top armor!

Soon, several soldiers brought in a wooden stake, on which there were two layers of leather armor.

Master Xiao, if this saber of yours can break armor twice, why not use it?

General Cheng said.

Ordinary standard weapons can be regarded as excellent weapons that can penetrate one layer of armor.

With General Cheng's knowledge, he hadn't seen many standard weapons with two layers of armor-piercing.

If it is a standard long knife with double armor penetration, it must be qualified to equip your own guards.

General, add another heavy armor.

Xiao Zongshui said in a deep voice.

Triple Armor?

General Cheng was taken aback for a moment, and said in displeasure, Master Xiao, enough is enough!

Standard weapons are cast from the most common iron material, with double armor penetration, which is almost impossible to achieve, and triple armor penetration, how is that possible?

General, you have nothing to lose by giving it a try, do you?

Xiao Zongshui said seriously.

very good!

General Cheng squinted at Xiao Zongshui for a while, then waved his hand, and immediately a soldier put another layer of leather armor on the stake.

You come.

General Cheng handed the knife to a soldier.

He has great strength himself, if he does it, he can't test the sharpness of the weapon itself.

The soldier took the long knife, weighed it, and then slashed out.

He didn't use all his strength, but controlled his strength to the level of an ordinary adult.

This is also a rule for testing the sharpness of weapons. Only in this way, what is tested is the power of the weapon itself, not the strength of the user.

Pfft—

The long knife drew a bright line in the air, and the blade landed on the leather armor.

The solid leather armor, under the blade, seemed to be stuck like tofu, and the blade instantly sank into the leather armor, and then deeply embedded in the wooden stake.

boom--

There was a muffled sound, and something fell to the ground.

General Cheng's complexion changed, he stepped forward, directly across a distance of several meters, pushed aside the guards, stretched out his hand to hold the sharp long knife, exerted a little force on his wrist, and the long knife had been pulled out from the stake.

Crack——

The triple leather armor split from the chest and abdomen, fell to the ground, and left a deep knife mark on the wooden stake.

Ugh—

General Cheng flicked his wrist, and the sharp standard long knife slashed across the wooden post. As if in slow motion, the upper half of the thick wooden post slid down obliquely, revealing a mirror-smooth cut surface.

Good knife! General Cheng couldn't help but said, What a sharp knife!

Master Xiao, is this a new knife you developed? What is it called?

it--

Xiao Zongshui hesitated for a moment, this knife, how could it have a name.

Report to General, this sword is called Huben!

Xiao Zongshui was thinking rapidly when suddenly a voice sounded.

Hu Ben, which means warrior. The voice continued loudly, The general's imperial guards are guarding the palace, they are the soldiers of the tiger and ben, and the tiger and ben sword are a perfect match! Can people still be worthy of this tiger knife?

It has been signed and the contract is being prepared. Those who have invested should hurry up
