The crux is that the threat from the "West Continent" is comprehensive, far surpassing the Newland Republic.
As for external threats, they might instead act as a catalyst for the political unification of the West Continent.
Therefore, the Liangxia Empire's basic strategy toward the Western Bloc can be summarized in just four words.
"Be cautious, act prudently."
As long as time is on their side, after the influence of the Tiaoman Empire wanes, the Western Bloc will inevitably fracture, and the unification of the West Continent will be out of the question.
Furthermore, the movement toward unification in the West Continent may trigger a chain reaction.
To put it bluntly, achieving political unification on the West Continent, or even the prospect of it, would incite the Newland Republic.
