The Formation Blade was the standard-issue weapon of the Cloud Knights, the Xianzhou Luofu's official armed forces.
Clad in light silver armor and wielding long-handled blades, these soldiers looked quite intimidating.
The sight of them carrying melee weapons reminded Chu Mu of the soldiers in Belobog.
