What followed that day was a long period of reorganization and a cold, calculating siege.
Both sides began carefully inspecting their losses and redistributing their remaining forces in heavy silence. Damaged fleets were reorganized, surviving commanders reassigned, and defensive formations reinforced. Every participant in that war understood one simple truth: the next battle would not be any less ferocious than the ones that had already shaken the sector.
At the same time, the Big Six did not completely withdraw from the battlefield. Instead, they retreated only to a distance that was considered safe, a position that allowed them to maintain constant observation over the accursed Behemoth while also preserving the option to retreat or reposition at any moment if the situation suddenly shifted.
