Surrounding the river Tigris is a dense forest that is rare in the northwestern part of the Safavid Empire. The forest has no name, but it is not a typical forest since it is filled with rolling hills, steep cliffs, and tall mountains.
In such a forest, not too far from the city of Baghdad, was a unique mountain shaped like an eagle nesting in its nest. Near the foot of this mountain range, Minister of External Affairs Jaishankar, along with a few dozen Bharatiya soldiers dressed in ranger attire, looked around vigilantly.
Balwan Pannu scanned all around him like a hawk scanning its prey. He looked a little wary, but truthfully he was totally calm since he could already see the traces of the opponents on the way to the mountain. The only reason he acted like this was to fool the enemy into thinking he was no different from other normal soldiers.
