To take over six different cities, two on the coast and four inland, the Bharatiya Empire spent nearly 10 months. It was a ridiculously long time, especially considering the average distance from the Greek to the aforementioned cities was less than 200 kilometres.
The Europeans were overjoyed with such a development. They knew arming every fortress, palace, citadel, and bastion across the Balkans would slow the Bharatiya Empire down, but they did not expect it to slow them by so much. They were happily celebrating that the Bharatiya Empire would not be able to reach them for the next four to five years, and the Kingdom of Polish Lithuania was one of the happiest. The original prediction was that the Bharatiya Empire would reach its border in a year, by January of 1608, but now, looking at how things were moving, it seemed like they had at least a year more. They probably wouldn't have to worry about an invasion, at least until 1709.
