The European Merchants Visit Part: 1

Vijayanagara Empire, Hampi.

Vijay was anticipating the new Bharathi language to be completed and the land audit to be finished in a matter of a few weeks. However, he was suddenly disturbed by an interesting news. After the Portuguese left, there wasn't much connection with European traders, except for the occasional merchant who came to the Vijayanagar Empire to buy goods and then left.

This time, it was a full convoy of merchants from multiple European countries. Vijay could only imagine that his support for the Portuguese had caused quite a stir across the European continent.

Six hours ago,

Arabian Sea.

A sizable fleet of ships approached the Indian subcontinent, displaying a variety of flags. Some bore the flag of the Holy Roman Empire, while others displayed the flags of France, England, and the Swedish Empire and several others showcased flags representing major merchant alliances.
