Some of the things are still hard to put an end to, and that was the same as slave trading.
The last time there was an all-out war on the blue planet was around one century ago. So many lives were lost and it took decades for every kingdom to heal.
With the disappearance of mana and with fewer mages and warriors appearing with time, kingdoms were just too lazy and not interested in losing their people by going to war.
Since before armies were mostly made with mages for, they were much stronger than normal people and they were also in abundance, soldiers only needed to practice their magic and be ready to exchange some blows.
However, now things were different. In a kingdom, it would be very rare to find at least one thousand mages and that also meant that the armies needed to be filled with normal people.
And these people needed to be trained seriously until they were seasoned enough to hold in a battle.
