Capítulo 159: Raid of Dutch Supplies part - 2

Dutch occupied Indian territory, outskirts of shimoga city, few days back on 16th March 1557

It is afternoon. The area is a jungle with a clear path and a clearing surrounded by thick lines of trees amid the slopes. Soldiers in green leather armor and black dhotis, for camouflage can be seen cutting and chopping wooden logs to sharpen them nearby.

Captain Vishwasrao Shindhe, a 23-year-old Maratha, oversees the preparation of traps with his hand resting on his waist. He is clad in a snug leather vest reinforced with plate armor protecting his chest, and a turban crowns his head. At his waist, he carries a talwar, and a katar is tucked into the robe wrapped around his waist. He wears a dhoti and mojari for footwear, and a round shield is strapped to his back.

Standing at 5'8", an average height for a soldier, he possesses a strong, agile physique and a commanding presence as he surveys the preparations.
