Sargent Keevan had slipped out of the room and made her way back to the ship as fast as possible to relay orders. By the time she got back, Garvin was speaking again
"Your Majesty is wise. As previously advised, we have 400 here, mostly support troops - the Róisín is already on it's way back to pick up another 400. The majority of whom will be longbows and scouts.
IronBay is across the water now, but was on the front line in the last war. We are heavily defended.
We have two fully manned fortifications. Fort Stonehill & Firewood Keep, along with 4 Roundship armed heavy cogs, anchored in position to defend the port.
Admiral Egan informs me that these are fully functioning vessels that can be moved if called upon.
As for numbers, in time of war every able bodied adult in Ironbay can be called upon as a reliable soldier, all are members of the military reserve stretching our army to 5000. And once our trade cogs have completed their refits, we will have a capacity of 600 sea men & women.
I would, however advise that this includes military medics & sappers and other support to keep the arrows flying. That's means a maximum of 1500 combat longbows in total.
Then there's these that I wish to share with everyone in this room - the general spreads a few copies of a pamphlet that appears to contain mechanical drawings on the table - this is how we pass information around Ironbay fast & as it's a time of war, I offer it to you all. We use a mobile version with flags on the battlefield & to communicate to our ships.
On the back of each drawing, codes are printed. Any army that wishes to have one of my troops explain the inner workings and the codes is welcome to have a specialist attached."
