The Empire's Plans

Near the border of the Empire and the Qutb sultanate. The Royal Army camp was set up, waiting to march into the Qutb Sultanate. The main army of the Sultanate was busy fighting with the Marathas.

The ones stationed on the borders were just inexperienced soldiers filling in the numbers according to their spy reports. They were quickly able to understand that they could just walk into the Qutb sultanate and take over many regions. 

It seemed like the Sultan didn't think that the Empire would be involved itself without notice since they just finished a civil war. He underestimated the wealth of the Empire. It was vast. They had enough wealth to wage another war and still survive through losses. 

The commander was having the final battle meeting with his senior commanders and the division commanders.
