With their allegiance unwavering, they allowed us passage, opening a clear way into the heart of their settlement. As we made our way toward the packhouse, figures appeared at the entrance, their defensive stances indicating their readiness to protect their territory. Richard's keen eye identified Carlos among them. He stood there, surrounded by his loyal followers, an air of false authority clinging to him. Yet, in the face of Richard's presence, the legitimate alpha who held the true authority, a momentary hesitation gripped them, causing their collective resolve to falter. Carlos, who had always projected a façade of command, now stood exposed and alone.

Old loyalties, old enemies, old fires—she heard all of that in the single evasive word. “You’ll come back?” she asked, hating the hope in the question. “Yes,” he said. “With clothes. Real ones.” His gaze flicked over her sheet-dress, and something almost gentle crossed his face. “Armour looks better on people who can breathe.” “Armour?” she echoed. “Figurative,” he said. “For now.” Then, almost as an afterthought, he moved his hand, and a small bundle of folded black fabric appeared on the bed in a swirl of smoke.

The first of the two Picts had drawn back his axe from being blocked and now swung it at him again. Ralta appeared as if he had dropped in from the sky, hitting the axe by its handle with his shield just above where the Pict clutched it. The Pict stared at Ralta in shock, not figuring his weapon would be attacked instead of his person. His expression twisted into a grimace of pain as Ralta plunged his sword into the center of the Pict’s chest. This barbarian wore a series of bones as armor, a lattice work of a covering, feigning protective covering. Perhaps this was just a jest to his brothers to show his courage, or an uncanny need to show all that his gods really protected him. Either way,

The defensive power of the plate armor was second only to the heavy armor. In particular, there were nine marks on the plate armor, which were mixed together, causing a strong fluctuation.

But just now, with the Spirit-breaking Sword Palm as the guide, the fist force pierced through it. The combination of the two can't hurt this guy. It can be seen that this blue plate armor is definitely an Upper Grade armor!"

Raiden POV The leather settled against my shoulders like a second skin. Not ceremonial armor. Not the heavy plated regalia meant for intimidation. This was war gear. Flexible. Lethal. Built for movement. Lucian adjusted the strap on his forearm guards nearby, equally prepared but unburdened by excess metal. We would not hide behind armor tonight. We would meet them properly. I stepped out onto the field beyond the fortress doors, and the sight before me would have made lesser men tremble.

He looked like a giant child with a secret. "We brought armor," he rumbled. "Better than the beetle shell." He tossed the package onto the bed. It landed with a soft thud. I looked at it. Then at them. "I have the standard issue cadet greys. They're fine." "They are cotton and polyester," Barzil said. Leaning against the doorframe, arms crossed. "They offer zero ballistic protection and they restrict range of motion in the shoulder joint. If you fight in them, you will tear them, and then you will bleed."

These banners ripple slightly in the breeze. Standing behind and alongside the barricade are a dozen armoured guards dressing in silver armour and blue cloaks. The soldiers wear steel helmets and layered protective gear, including breast plates and leather belts. Their deep blue cloaks drape heavily over their shoulders and contrast against the muted browns and greys of the town. Each guard stands alert and disciplined, facing outward as through monitoring the street for threats. The guards’ posture conveys authority and caution. Some rest their hands near weapons or lean slightly against the barricade while scanning the surroundings.

His face turned red almost instantly. “What… what manner of armor is this?” His voice cracked. “Not armor.” Geoff’s grin widened wickedly. “Lingerie.” Keenan’s eyes swept the displays in horror and fascination. He leaned closer to one mannequin, frowning at a lacy bra. “It offers no protection. The stomach is bare, the chest, exposed. This would get a soldier killed.” “It’s not for fighting,” Geoff said. “It’s for… other battles.” Keenan’s blush deepened. “Ah.” He cleared his throat, stepping back like the lace itself might burn him. “Other battles.”

There was also a shield, with a magnificent and ferocious griffin embossed on the face of the shield. The only other things in the trunk were the full chainmail armour, an elaborate waist belt, a leather pouch, a set of tubular bells and cloak with the coat of arms of the Zumerongs which was a magnificent and ferocious griffin, standing tall and proud, embroidered with threads of gold, silver and copper; the image was so life like and imposing that just a glance at the magnificent image commanded respect.

This was battle armour disguised as a formal dress. The dress was black leather that hugged my frame like another skin, reinforced with silver panels that would redirect blades. The neckline was modest, but the back plunged low, revealing the scars I had spent years hiding. Silver thread embroidered Shadowborn symbols along the edge — ancient protection runes that I somehow recognised despite never having learned them. " Where did you get this?" I asked, touching the soft leather.
