While the peripheries were being handled, the interior was also getting cleaned up.

The new aborigine hires Elof, Sapur, and their respective teams were assigned in various areas to protect. It was their first war fighting alongside Terrans and they immediately found the differences.
One of the main differences was the guards' sense of loyalty.
They were well-trained, disciplined, and were unlikely to desert if things got too dangerous. Because the enemies were numerous, the territory was not small, and their forces were relatively thin so it could indeed get overwhelming sometimes.
However, they saw how the guards refused to back down. There was no time when they had the impression that the person wanted to run and abandon. Most of the citizens were the same.
It was enlightening and fascinating at the same time.
