Capturing it would allow the Salvation Army's vanguard to use it as a springboard—a dagger to be plunged into the heart of the northern front, enabling a pincer attack with the main force on the primary battlefield.
Since they had to fight sooner or later, they might as well take the city while the City of Dreams was still there and kill several birds with one stone.
