Chương 260: Vijayanagara-Maratha Alliance

"I hope you are satisfied with the outcome." Harsha had a bright grin plastered on his face. 

The first step towards the alliance was done. He also had some other plans in mind for expanding his empire's influence in the subcontinent. The best way to influence someone or a region was either through trade or literature. 

"Indeed, Lord Harsha." Aadarsh said. "Although I am still somewhat skeptical." 

"Right, you have every right to be." Harsha shrugged. "You are taking my word for it after all." 

"So, I will show some goodwill." 

"What might that be?" 

"Have your men operated the cannon and fortifications in Daman?" Harsha asked. 

"No! We have only bought the crude cannons to date." 

"I see. You might need some assistance with them, I suppose." 

Aadarsh nodded. 

"We have teams that handled Portuguese cannons during the civil war." Harsha explained. "We can send them over to teach you to handle them." 

"Huh?"
