Chapter 204: War Of Ahom Part: 3

The Dakshin Bhartiya Empire, off the coast of Paradip Port.

The entire navy of the Dakshin Bhartiya Empire, stationed at the Eastern Naval Base, has been dispatched for this military operation to reinforce the Ahom troops. While the Eastern Naval Base is empty, in order to strengthen defences against any third-party intrusion, some BNV warships have been dispatched from the Southern and Western Naval Bases. This battle group, consisting of a man-of-war battleship and 35 Hampi-class sloops under the command of Admiral Gangadhar, with Gautam as his deputy, has been dispatched on this first overseas expedition of the Dakshin Bharatiya Empire. The fleet also includes thousands of merchant ships in tow. These merchant ships are armed with swivel guns and belong to the Dhana class of armed merchant ships. They carry five brigades of troops, totalling 25,000 soldiers, headed by Yogendra Singh and two units of special forces headed by Dinesh Reddy and Lingesh.
