the slow, safe way. Tell the groups that if they encounter something they believe will result in casualties, they are to fall back and join another group to take it on, doubling up their strength until they can kick its ass easily, then split up again.” I said firmly, bracing myself as Thorn cinched sections tight and made adjustments, straightening my arm out, then sliding on  and twisting my vambraces until there was an audible click, and I felt the vambraces being attached to the upper arm segment.

“Damn, that feels smooth…” I muttered, curling my arm up and down.

“The Legion has the best armorers anywhere,” Restun said with a rare smile. “Every part is designed to be able to lock together, reinforcing the others, and spreading the weight out. You can wear just sections if you need to, and then the weight will be what the uninitiated expect from armor like this, but when it’s all in place, fitted and working correctly? A fully armored Legionnaire will beat a standard soldier in far more expensive armor over and over again.”

“From fighting monsters, to chasing a girl, the Legionnaires leave them in a whirl…” Thorn muttered, smiling as she worked, gripping my new boots and pulling upwards as I stomped down. Then she twisted a ring-shaped connector on the top of the boot, and it locked into place, and I felt the weight settle even more comfortably.

“It’s true, though,” Romanus agreed. “The way that the Legion armor is built, each section supports the next, much like in a shieldwall. Because the armor is linked together, it offsets the weight, plus there are a few little tricks our armorers have learned over the centuries. Add to that, sections that are built to bend and give slightly, and others have additional padding, and you’ll find nothing to compare with it.”

“Nothing?” I asked, lifting my right hand as Thorn tugged the gauntlet on for me, twisting the wrist connector and locking it into place with a smooth click.

“Nothing that you can find anywhere,” Romanus insisted proudly. “Sure, back in the glory days of the Empire, there were armorers that made equipment that put ours to shame, but almost none of it survived, and that which did… well, we don’t get to examine it for lost secrets.”

“And even if we could, there’s no changing the Legion armor…” Thorn grumbled under her breath.

“Now, now, Legionnaire,” Romanus chuckled. “Until now, we’ve had tradition as our only shield… it’ll be hard accepting the changes Lord Jax brings, but we must change, if we are to survive.”

“Yes, Prefect,” Thorn said, bowing her head. “I apologize for my words if they seemed disrespectful…”

“No, there’s no need for that, Thorn.” Romanus smiled gently. “We’re all Legionnaires, and we all yearn for the glory of our dreams, be they in battle or in creation. We all serve the Empire.”

“Thank you, sir,” Thorn said, smiling and twisting my last gauntlet until it clicked into place. A shiver passed over me, and I felt as much as saw the notifications spring to life.

I looked the details over and nodded to myself in satisfaction. Yes, I was losing a lot of Stamina doing everything, but with the increased protection, it was worth that. Add to that, I looked fucking badass!

The armor was beautiful, a combination of the classic ‘Paladin’ style in fantasy movies, mixed with old school ‘Roman Legionnaire.’ With the way everything linked together, the flexibility and sheer artistry of it, damn if it didn’t look
