Kashmir , outskirts of Sri Nagar , night of April 25, 1557
As the partial moon reached its peak, darkness engulfed the entire city of Srinagar. The city lay to the west of Dal Lake , with Hari Parbat Fort standing guard to its south. The Silk Route ran through the city's center, stretching from the southeastern entrance to the northwestern exit.
Dense forests bordered the city to the west, while mountain ranges rose imposingly in the north. Trapped in between the human settlement is the city that world knows as Srinagar.
Fortunately, the small outposts on the city's western edge had already been sabotaged by spies disguised as Locals. They not only planted gunpowder for explosives but also marked key locations for later operations.
According to Rudra's strategic plan, the 10,000-strong force was divided into four groups.
