Chương 73: Battle of Mahishapura [1]

The morning sun rose from the horizon. The light of the sun strengthened as the shadow of the night faded. The air was cool, and the fragrance of the morning dew and blooming flowers permeated the surroundings. An army marched through the open fields, breaking the silence of the morning.

The army led by Keshav Pillai was making its way to battle against the approaching army of Govinda Rao in Mahishapura (Mysore). The tension in the air was visible, as if lightning were about to strike the battlefield.

The neat columns of the soldiers marched in unison in neat formations onto the battlefield. The commanders of the army were riding a horse and clad in ornate armor, clearly showing them apart from the rest of the troops.
