Chapter 241: Devagiri Fort

Fort in trade city of Manualay, Delhi's north eastern borders, evening of April 27,1557.

Imperial army supported by mercenary forces reached the trade city by evening, their mounts laden with war supplies as they marched in through discipline formation.

The city, usually bustling with traders and artisans, wore an uncharacteristically subdued air. The streets which used to sparsely populated, today were unusually quiet with only a few wary eyes peering from shuttered windows and guarded alleyways.

Security patrols were present at every alley and corner. In every blink of eye one can sense a man clad in armour ensuring order with vigilance. Every intersection was filled with watchful sentries as their were clad with spears and swords, ready to tackle any disturbance.

As Bheem's contingent advanced toward the city's rear, the remnants of recent unrest became evident.
