章 204: Aziz Shah's woes

The Qutb Palace was a mess after the death of Zafar Shah. The news spread like wildfire that the rebels assassinated the Sultan in the heavily guarded palace. 

The capital was a mess as the ministers began to flee from the sultanate because of possible repercussions from the rebels. 

In the bordering regions, the local nobles had already fled when they saw the Empire's army invading deep into the Sultanate territory. They knew that there was no way the Sultanate would be able to fight the Empire. 

Every noble big and small knew of the strength of the Vijayanagara Empire. It rivalled that of the Mughals and was one of the strongest powers, if not the strongest, in the subcontinent.

The defeat of the royal army had made a dent in their morale. Now with the Empire's invasion. It was spelt doom for the Sultanate.
