As the special envoys continuously traveled between the various small noble territories, the expansion of Red Tide Territory was advancing at an undeniable pace.
The reason lies in the fact that most Lords of these lands feel little attachment to the soil beneath their feet; given enough temptation, they are ready to let go, for example, in exchange for land more suitable for their own development.
Moreover, these small Nobility understand well that without the support and trade from Red Tide Territory, their territories would have long been devoured by war and famine.
Before the arrival of Red Tide, even without war, they endured the dilemma of food shortages, relying on outside assistance to survive.
And now, Red Tide Territory is like a lighthouse, emitting reassuring light, protecting them from external pressure and harassment.
Especially for those Pioneer Nobles who arrived in the Northern Territory for less than two years, their land feels more like a burden.
