Chapitre 210: Northern Imperial Corps

Punjab kingdom, in the outposts of Shivallik hills, afternoon of 19th April 1557.

As the morning sun bathed the rugged peaks of the Shivalik Hills in golden hues, the imperial outpost emerged as a bastion of strength for the Bhargav Samrajya. Originally established by the Mughals during the reign of its founding member, this outpost had transformed into a critical stronghold for the imperial corps, poised for an expedition into Kashmir.

The heart of the outpost was a small, fort-like structure built from sturdy stone walls, remnants of a bygone era under previous Islamic rulers. Now, it stood proudly adorned with the saffron flags of the Bhargav Samrajya, symbolizing Hemu's dominance. Strategically positioned at the intersection of the routes to Lahore, Kashmir, and Delhi, this outpost was vital to the Punjab Kingdom.
