"Armed at all points" = được trang bị vũ khí ở mọi điểm -> nghĩa là được bảo vệ kỹ lưỡng hoặc sẵn sàng ứng phó/ứng biến.

Ví dụ
Russian and foreign journalists attended the opening ceremony of the Hugo Chavez street armed at all points – TV and photo cameras, microphones.

"A figure like your father, armed at all points." It's hard to tell if anyone recognizes this as a scene from Hamlet. The elevator audience stares straight ahead or concentrates on the changing floor numbers. Some fumble with their phones.

Tomoe had long black hair and a fair complexion (nước da đẹp), and her face was very lovely; moreover she was a fearless rider whom neither the fiercest horse nor the roughest ground could dismay (làm hết hồn, mất tinh thần), and so dexterously did she handle sword and bow that she was a match for a thousand warriors, and fit to meet either god or devil. Many times had she taken the field, armed at all points, and won matchless renown in encounters with the bravest captains, and so in this last fight [i.e. the Battle of Awazu in 1184], when all the others had been slain or had fled, among the last seven there rode Tomoe.
