Nearly two months passed by in a flash, and for most of the world, it had been mostly the same. In a certain region, though, it was different.
While there were still Terran slaves that were being spread and sold off here and there, especially through previously established routes, the increase of the number had slowed down significantly. In certain directions, it had wholly come to a halt.
A couple of territories even directly returned some of them.
In that time, Alterra received dozens more allies and subsidiaries—some through wars, and some through peaceful means.
Decent territories generally had no reason not to join in. Even if many were guarded at first, it was not difficult to prove that Alterra meant no harm.
Some would also realize they were already 'surrounded' by unallied territories and might have no choice but to succumb to it.
