As neither side can completely cut off the other's supply lines, the ensuing battle turned into a detested war of attrition.
The attackers put pressure on the defenders from other directions while continuously bleeding the United Provincials on Magit Island, occasionally launching a surprise attack to trigger a chain collapse within the defending army.
Since the New Army has a far larger troop size compared to the core forces of the United Provincial defenders, it's only a matter of time before the internal pressure on the defenders reaches a critical point and subsequently collapses with a roar.
The defenders were sustained only by small batches of recruits arriving by boat, and the courage exhibited by the General himself on the frontline.
But everyone knows that sustaining life means death is the inevitable outcome.
Yet no one knows exactly when that moment will arrive.
