So in the end it was decided. When the meeting ends, the fleet would plot a course to clear out the pirates at three of the Islands closest to Bloodstone, and then after that would begin a blockage in the middle of the stepstones, cutting the Islands into two strict zones and patrolling each zone with he goal of making the pirates so scared that they confine themselves to the land where they would be dr easiest to face. These pirates were just that, pirates. Basically small folk who got the idea into their heads that the best way they could make it out was turning to crime. So that meant two basic things: one, they weren’t very smart, and two, they’d be average fighters at best.

On land, a Strong Stormlander Calvary would cut through them like a Damascus steel knife through paper. Simple and sweet, just like that. On sea, we had their better when it came to man at arms and all that, but even the Velaryon sailors were little better than peasants given positions. They were basically going to be fighting on equal terms with the pirates when it came to that. In fact, the pirates were probably better on account of being experienced. Men who had to kill men to earn their keep could not be compared to men who spent their days loading and unlading ships from trade voyages and negotiating with merchants. And yet these were the men that Corlys somehow expected d to take an island with. I was already beginning to get the sinking feeling that this plan would require far more from Igneel and I than Corlys had let on during the planning session.

I didn’t mind much to be honest. War was only a few decades away and when that time came, I would be thanking myself for getting as much experience as fighting against all sorts of enemies in this war.

Speaking of enemies, I heard a very familiar horn from the deck of the ship and dressed up in no time. That was a signal for me as well as for the other captains within the fleet that we would be waiting for an hour so I could take to the skies.
