The battle reignited the day after the advisory group arrived, with the entire morning consumed in artillery exchanges between both sides.
Texas launched its full force, leveraging its superior vantage point to suppress the British Army's artillery. The latter had hastily set up their artillery positions, fully exposed to the view of the forts.
Even when the British deployed Holy Knights to protect the artillery and sent a few infantry companies to launch an offensive, they were easily repelled by the No. 2 fort equipped with White Crystal grenades.
Looking at the outcome of the battle, it cannot be said that Juliano's initial idea of holding firm and defending the city was far-fetched.
If one excludes the interference of extraordinary combat power and Floating Airships, the British Army would find it nearly impossible to capture New Basilicata, even if the entire expedition army of over one hundred thousand were thrown in, which is a loss they obviously cannot afford.
