Why not "armors" but "armor"?
The "white banners and white armor" are used to equip thousands of men for an official mourning.
When the tranlator used "banners," why not he used "armors" as well?
Context:
The allotted period will have to be extended if we are to arrange white banners and white armor.

'Armour' is generally treated as an uncoutable noun. If you mean 'full armour for one man', you can speak of 'a suit of armour', two suits of armour', etc. Clive
