"Imperial Guards packed inside high‑tier epic armor sets? …That would be a truly terrifying sight." Robin rubbed his chin thoughtfully, frowning as he imagined the scene.
From what he knew, high‑tier epic equipment had indeed been manufactured within the True Beginning Empire for decades—but only in the form of individual pieces. Most often these were weapons such as halberds, swords, small cannons, or other standalone equipment, or at best, small pieces of armor for wrists or joints. Each piece was crafted meticulously, often incorporating advanced designs and complex elemental integrations, but never complete sets.
This was because producing them demanded not only enormous financial resources but also an immense investment of time and labor. A single piece could consume resources worth up to five million Pearls, and producing enough for a full unit of soldiers was almost inconceivable.
