In contrast, the offensive directed towards the Toe Peninsula presented an entirely opposite situation.
Likewise, at the end of November, the Army set out from the homeland and invaded the Toe Peninsula, initiating a military operation marching towards Lion Spring City at the far southern end.
Unlike Nanzhu Country, on the Toe Peninsula, it was the Army taking on the main role with the Navy providing only naval transport support.
This meant that the Army had to advance southward as much as possible along the coastline in order to facilitate resupply.
Of course, this was also central to the entire offensive plan.
Before the last major war ended, the Toe Peninsula had still been an overseas territory of the Empire. At that time, the Toe Country was itself a nation and, just like the Gaoju Kingdom, a vassal state of the Empire. Its main towns were distributed along the coastline and expanded inland through branch railways and roads.
