As time passed, the flank battlefield had gradually determined a winner.
The Imperial Army, initially surrounding the enemy, had dwindled significantly. In contrast, the Alliance Army, despite suffering substantial losses in the Escort Ship troops, managed to preserve the cruiser fleet relatively intact.
With this development, the flank battle was expected to conclude shortly, and once completed, the relatively unscathed cruiser fleet would quickly reinforce the frontal battlefield.
On the frontal battlefield, the Imperial Army, which should have been advancing unstoppably, faced a less optimistic situation. As much time had passed, and the flank battlefield was nearing its end, they still hadn't finished their battle.
