Veteran warriors understand blade maintenance better than novices, as the sword in hand is often more reliable than comrades on the battlefield.
Like most of the curved sabers held by grassland warriors, these blades are crafted casually by iron smiths of the grasslands, rough and simple. However, no matter how crudely these sabers are made, the warriors who have followed He Xiqing for years, boasting themselves as eagles, pay great attention to the maintenance of their weapons.
This is the biggest difference between them and the new recruits.
Before following He Xiqing, these grassland eagles had already earned significant reputations within their own small tribes. Compared to ordinary people, they are more combative and keen to compete—of course, many on the grasslands have such temperaments since most men of the northern desert are like this.
But only a few wise ones will notice the need to periodically visit the wizards to sharpen their blades.
