Clearly, now is the "right time."
The reason is simple: After making peace with the Newland Republic, the Liangxia Empire would be able to concentrate its forces to crush its land enemies with thunderous power and dominate the entire World Island.
So, will the Newland Authority agree to a ceasefire with the Liangxia Empire at this time?
On the face of it, the likelihood is very low.
After the setback in the Howay Islands, the Newland Authority has no bargaining chips to negotiate with the Liangxia Empire. Therefore, to cease hostilities with Liangxia, they would have to make huge sacrifices, such as permanently ceding the Howay Islands to the Liangxia Empire, which is obviously unacceptable.
Thus, even if the Newland Authority has already backed down, knowing they cannot achieve ultimate victory, they will still concentrate all their forces to reverse the unfavorable situation.
