She Was Both Called God, as Well as Satan - CH 61

The thin walls that protect each country continue to expand all over the world.

Had the world been an infinite plane, new humanity would have been promised eternal prosperity. However, in reality, land is finite.

And so, each country held bad relations with their neighbors.

A battle between individuals at first, the conflict grew until armed troops were dispatched from the countries that share that border, turning the conflict into a battle. Finally, it became a war, where the standing armies of these two nations fought.

As both countries were hostile to each other, a war where both sought to wash blood with blood ensued.

In such a world, the Republic of the Sages remained neutral.

In the first place, the Republic did not care much about land, and although its walls have been slightly expanded since its foundation, its expansion was overwhelmingly small compared to other countries.

In this land of sages, various studies were still underway to this day.

Furthermore, intellectuals from various countries that had escaped from war and persecution fled to the Republic, so the country was more active than ever before.

By exporting their armaments to each country, the Republic had a very large income. Each country actively imported weapons made by the sages who boasted overwhelming technological capabilities. These weapons saw use on all battlefields.
