After the Battle of Bosco Sound, the remaining portions of the [[Royal Navy (Urcea)|Royal Navy]]'s Cronan squadrons retreated to [[New Archduchy]], where it was kept in port by a blockading squadron of the [[Kiravia]]n Navy. Adriansville, the chief port city of New Archduchy, was able to sustain itself with food secured from the Cronan interior, and Kiravian forces attempted a landing but were repulsed, leading to an impasse. While New Archduchy had never been the primary objective of the campaign, it was thought after Bosco Sound that taking the colony was possible. The Kiravians largely abandoned this goal by October 1747. Consequently, they and the Cartadanians were prepared to sue for peace and recognize the colony's continued existence. | |||
