Chapter 164: War Preparations

Dark clouds loomed over Karnavati as the impending war was closing every day. The patrols were becoming more frequent and the security at the palace was heightened to avoid assassination attempts from the Mughals. 

Hundreds of clans pledged their support to defend their motherland from the invaders and began to enlist in the army without any pay. Their dedication and loyalty to the throne were unmatched. 

A young commander in his early twenties had eagerly joined to defend his motherland from the invaders. His name was Shivaji Bhonsle. He became the junior commander after a test of strength. 

Despite his young age, he was strong enough to go against numerous soldiers at once and his allegiance to the throne of the Marathas was unmatched. 

It was his first real battle against the invaders. He was nervous as he prepared to do his best, although he was physically strong. The experience from the battles brought you a long way.
