Bab 45: Ambush at Mala Khera
On the other hand, Badal Singh, who stayed outside of the Khilji camp felt something amiss. Even after staying inside the Khilji cam for a whole afternoon, their king did not come back.
Suspiciously, he entered the tent where he found nothing but a single man, Acharya Raghav Chetan. Acharya looked at Badal Singh and said with contempt,
"A storm has come and took your king away to Delhi… the same storm that soon flatten the kingdom of Mevad… A storm named Alauddin… Hahahahaha…"
Badal Singh looked at him and instantly drew his sword, "So you are the traitor…" He directly ran towards Acharya to behead him. But Raghav Chetan was unfazed as he looked viciously at Badal Singh, "If even a hair on my body is harmed, you can forget about your king making out alive…"
After hearing about their king, Badal Singh withdrew his sword. Raghav Chetan looked at him and started laughing, "Hahahaha… "
"I stayed here to give a message… message to your queen, Maharani Padmini… If she wants her husband alive, she will have to personally come to Delhi…"
After saying his message, the traitor Raghav Chetan left the camp leaving Badal Singh inside.
Little did he know, someone had already bared his fangs and waiting for the storm named Allauddin to come.

Here at the village of Mala Khera Aarv divided his 100 soldiers into groups of four. Two of them received poison arrows while other tow groups received horses. His intention was to attack the Khilji forces from multiple vantage points.
He then turned his attention toward his three instructors. "I have a very important task for all of you…" Aarv said with a serious tone.
"Currently Alauddin has two generals with him. I want Naga and Shyam to hold these two commanders. If you get the chance, you can kill them… while myself and sir Vijay will hold Alauddin Khilji back…"
Aarv looked at the quiet instructor in front of him with respect. He knew that he was from the same generation as his father… Because of the toe that he lost during a mission, he had to retire from the Army. Still, Aarv knew that even after levelling up, he was not a match for Sir Vijay.
"Remember, our task is to rescue the King… we dont need to put ourselves into unnecessary danger…"
"Yes sir…" All instructors said in unison.
It was almost evening when Aarv saw a sand storm coming their way in a distance. He quickly told his guards to take positions. Just as the Khilji Army was in front of them, Aarv shouted, "Ghaat…". The soldiers quickly pulled the ropes that they had laid down on the ropes creating obstacles for the horses.
While on the other hand, as the Khilji army was passing from the mountain ranges behind the village of Mala Khera, they heard a loud roar,
"Ghaat…."
Before they could make sense of what was happening, they saw the horses at the front tripping themselves over.
"Bang… Bang…"
Due to the sheer momentum, the horses that followed after them directly collided against them creating chaos in the army rank.
The horses in the back saw the scene and quickly stopped their horses from moving further ahead. But, before they could relax, Aarv's archers started attacking the soldiers in the rear with their poison arrows.
"Pew… Pew…"
One after another, Khilji soldiers started falling while Allauddin Khilji looked at the scene with Shock. Quickly stabilizing himself, he quickly ordered his soldiers in the back to turn around so that the front army can retreat but it was all in vain as he heard the sound of horse hooves coming from both sides of this Army.
Aarv raise his Trishul and led the charge of one of the armies himself.
"Har Har Mahadev…"
The voice of All 75 guards thundered throughout the valley as Aarv along with his Army directly tore through the Khilji army.
Aarv Knew that, Although the Khilji Army was strong with their Arab horses, once you took out their main advantage, which is speed, it was easy to counteract them.
With great momentum, he headed in the direction of Allauddin, who was in the middle of the Army.
"Protect the Sultan…"
Allauddin's personal guards came forward to block Aarv and his Instructor's way. Aarv was unfazed by the upcoming personal guards as he swing his Trishul beheading a personal guard who was in front of them.
The instructors who followed behind him were even more outrageous. Naga directly split the guard in front of him in half while Shyam crushed the skull of the guard in front of him.
But, nobody was able to match Instructor Vijay who with his 60 kg Talwar beheaded 3 personal guards with a single swing. He then turned at shouted to the other instructors, "let's compete on how many we can kill…" He looked completely different from his usual quiet self as he massacred Allauddin's personal army.
The other instructors could only follow after him. They did not want to compete with him in the first place.
As Aarv and his Army got closer and closer to Alauddin Khilji, the strength of personal soldiers increased as well. But it was still not a problem for them to kill the soldiers.
Suddenly, Vijay who was attacking a soldier shouted in Aarv's direction, "Careful Aarv babu…"
Aarv felt it too. He quickly turned his trident and met with a white blur that was coming his way…
"Clang…!!"
When Aarv looked closely, he found out that it was a Halfmoon blade, the signature weapon of Khilji forces.
Aarv was shocked at the power behind the attack because he was evenly matched with the wielder of the blade. He looked at the person who just attacked.
He knew the person from a single glance. He was Malik Kafur, Alauddin's slave.
