Capítulo 152: Siege of Amer Fort Prt-5 (Fury of elephants)

Kingdom of Amber, Fort of Jaipur, few days back on 12th march 1557.

Emperor Hemu faced a crucial challenge when he received the news of attack on the western regions of his empire. He did not want to be at odds with the Rajputs but this time they went too far. He knew the situation demanded his personal intervention. 

However, leaving his seat in Delhi for an extended period posed significant risks, so he implemented martial law and entrusted the administration to his father, the Prime Minister, while he rallied his own forces.

He concealed his involvement to such an extent that he did not even inform Prince Aditya stationed at Rewari about his departure, instructing him only to remain on guard and assured him that the imperial army would soon reach Amber for support. He also kept the fort at Amer unaware of the incoming reinforcements to prevent any potential leaks to enemy spies.
