Prelude to Hampi
Hampi, Vijayanagara Empire.
Preparations were underway in the huge camp settled on the outskirts of the capital city. There was going to be a huge battle soon. The tension in the air was palpable. Even veteran soldiers were tensed up by the atmosphere before the battle. Dark clouds loomed over the sky, indicating a wicked omen.
The soldiers were clad in top-quality armor and weapons. The first prince's wealth was on full display, considering the quality of war equipment and supplies. Despite the lack of cannons. His army was well equipped for a major war.
Despite all this effort, death loomed above his head. Bhairava wasn't an easy opponent. He had to plan his way to win this life-or-death battle for him. The throne of Vijayanagara was on the line.
But Chandra had the support. His existing army was bolstered with even more numbers due to the arrival of new troops from all over the Empire who joined his army. He was given new commanders and advisors.
