Chương 187: Battle of Siddhpur [1]

The battlefield on the outskirts of Siddhpur stretched like a mat of brown. The day was cloudy as Baldev faced the infamous Askar Khan. 

He could see the smug smile plastered across Askar Khan's face. 

A lone messenger on horse trodded through the vast battle and made his way to Baldev.

"By Allah's grace. I, Askar Khan, order you to stand down and surrender or prepare to die." 

Baldev looked at the messenger with a cold glare.

"We shall fight till death. Stop us if you can. We are protected by the divine blessings of Bhavani Mata." 

The messenger quickly scurried off at the declaration.

Baldev looked at the grin on Askar as he heard his reply from his messenger.

Askar was a man with tremendous potential. Despite his attitude, he was a hard worker, unlike some commanders in the Mughal army who got their positions with nepotism.
