Chapter 78. Dividing the Pie (2)

"The Holy Nation. Shall we divide and rule it together?"

Another expression for partition, or occupation.

Honestly, the Holy Nation was too large a country for the Ulranor Kingdom to digest alone.

Their population is a quarter of ours, and their territory is similar in size.

It would be difficult to control such a large influx of people with a completely different language and culture...
