To the east of the central region lay the Star Dou Great Forest, while to the west stretched endless mountains and deserts. Spirit Hall stood right in the very center.
Spirit Hall's geographical position was crucial. For Spirit Hall, it was both an advantage and a disadvantage.
"If your plan truly works, then drawing a group of Spirit Beasts from the eastern Star Dou Great Forest into an assault would give us a surprise force. Even if they cannot strike directly at Spirit City, Spirit Hall's central hub, they could still inflict enormous damage on its core territories."

"In the best-case scenario, we can seize Yanbo City. At worst, we can reclaim Heaven Gate Pass!"
