believe that yes the Aldmeri Dominion would not be happy with this so would attack skyrim. Now the route that makes the most sense is a land route as it's easier to remain strong and keep moral as it isn't a massive voyage. So by this logic a March through the empire makes sense. The one issue people brought up from that is that the empire would attack these troops to stop them from getting to skyrim. However the empire has withdrawn from skyrim after the general is killed and so probably would have an issue with the AD taking it, and then you have the point about the White Gold Concordat where the empire was brought to its knees by the ad which is why they had to sign the treaty in the first place so the AD would just have to threaten a re-ignition of the great war and none of the empire want that, so they would let the AD through to skyrim.
