Besides I doubt that Ironwood's paranoia will stop at declaring martial law and ordering his former allies to be arrested. Being confined in Atlas for a good amount of time to secure the relic and having to focus his time and energy on defending and maintaining Atlas under his control could very well increase it and cause him to doubt even his closest subordinates' loyalties and to do more and more ruthless actions to keep the city under his rule. In these conditions I doubt that he would really send more means and soldiers in the other kingdoms that he would keep in Atlas nor that the kingdoms would be very willing to accept his help, help him or even believe him about Salem's existence without at least one solid proof if they see how paranoid and cold he has become even without knowing that he chose to sacrifice Mantle.
