Clash of Rivals Part-1

Rewari Kingdom, Pataudi Village, Mercenary Recruitment Camp, afternoon of April 4, 1557.

On the outskirts of the village, in the vast open fields near the forest and hills, two groups of musketeers stood in neat formations. Each group consisted of 33 men, all wearing brown uniforms and armed with old, aged arquebuses for training purposes. The disciplined rows mirrored one another, with the only distinction being their turbans: the black-turbaned soldiers, fresh recruits from the southern camp, stood opposite their white-turbaned counterparts from the northern camp.

At the forefront stood two figures; Nirbhay and Ayush, representing their respective groups. Nirbhay, from the southern camp, wore the black turban, while Ayush, leading the northern group, wore the white.
