It was a crude sword.
Julius had never received proper training in swordsmanship.
During his years in military training, recruits were trained to handle advanced weaponry such as railguns with mana-charged slugs, plasma rifles capable of melting reinforced alloys, and psionic carbines that fired condensed magic energy.
Moreover, they were also taught to pilot magi-tech vehicles such as heavy combat mechs fitted with adaptive shielding, aerial interceptors powered by antimana turbines, and armored carriers reinforced with kinetic barriers.
But Julius had chosen a different path.
His focus had always been on the integration of nanotechnology in warfare. In the battlefields of the future, a single exo-suited soldier could surpass entire mech platoons under the right conditions.
The Revenant Knights had already proven this. Clad in nanotech exosuits and wielding photon sabers or magi-tech ammunition, everywhere they went, chaos spread across the battlefield.
