Dominic quickly realized that waiting for someone else to prepare the airships was not a time efficient choice.
They were already warships, they had just been modified with the removal of their masts, to replace them with the rigging for the lifting envelope. So, when he wanted to convert them back, he just had to pull the nails that held the old cannon ports locked shut and make new cannon blocks.
Then, he could make a new set of cannons, four per side, and equip the ship with a munitions orb.
Then, they were ready for a crew, and to begin the patrols.
Only, Wistover currently didn't have any trained airship crews, and they didn't have enough full-time soldiers to start sending whole teams out in airships to patrol the Duchy. He was going to have to hire some more people.
Giving the militia all spears was a great idea, but without a standing army, they didn't have anyone who could devote their weeks to being on patrol.
