Although Sikeqinya was to the north of Phoenix, its borders were surrounded by mountain ranges, and its climate was highly affected by the warm currents from the west. Its average temperature in a year was slightly higher than Phoenix's. Due to its unique geographical location, Sikeqinya need not face Tanggulasi empire's iron knights head-on, nor worry about its naval forces since the Tanggulasi empire's coastal areas were affected by cloud currents.
The roads leading from Sikeqinya to the south were limited, and they all basically began from Laiyin Duchy. There was only one road leading to God's Grace Duchy, and the road contained three impregnable passes. That eliminated any possibility of Tanggulasi empire's invasion.
