Jinmen's location was critically important. If the Neon Nation seized it, they could use it as a springboard for an invasion, which would have a massive impact on the entire situation in the Divine Land.
After all, it was from Jinmen that the Six Nations—the Great Powers of old—had landed to menace the Divine Land.
Ordinarily, if trouble befole Jinmen, the surrounding regions could provide swift aid. But with the war in the Northern Territory now raging, the Divine Land's forces were steadily losing ground. The various armies were heavily constrained, and a large number of masters were already trapped within Jinmen. It was impossible to dispatch reinforcements on such short notice, and the Neon side would certainly not grant them the time to rally masters and troops.
The time between tonight and dawn would be Jinmen's most critical moment. Whether or not they could withstand the Neon forces' offensive would determine the fate of the entire city.
