The Sea Tribe's attack this time was indeed different from the past, though the battle had always been tense, but after the outset of all-out war, the empire had constructed a thick earthen wall along the new coastline. Each segment of the wall was manned with large legions for defense, and periodically, the regions would rotate troops and make repairs.
While the Sea Tribe was numerous, constrained by the Snowy Region, its attacks on the empire gradually shifted from comprehensive to sectional. Silver Wind had experienced a minor scale attack just before the last troop rotation; though termed "minor," the number of Sea Tribe members mobilized was also in the tens of thousands.
