War had raged on for ten years now, on the northern and western borders of the Silla Kingdom. While the northern front was far from being spared from troubles, most of the fighting was taking place in the western lands.
The mountainous region of the north and General Min-Jun's legions held at bay the foes. Tirelessly, the Tang armed forces tried to advance, counter-plotting and focusing on the occidental regions, coming through the western wide mountain pass, or by the West Sea. Massive galleys would drop enemy troops on the shores of the neighbouring kingdom, which allowed them to pass.
The Sillans had only one friendly neighbour: the East Sea.
