Dakshin Bhartiya Empire, Gujarat region, Palanpur frontier
The fortress newly erected in the city of Palanpur stands tall against the relentless assaults of the Mughal Empire. Constructed just a week prior, it boasts sturdy walls fortified with cement and iron supplied by the Empire, aimed at fully integrating the region of Gujarat into the Nation.
Excitement permeates the fortress today as it marks payment day for the soldiers. Traditionally falling on the 10th of each month, this month's payment holds particular significance as rumours have permeated every corner of the military about a considerable increase in their salaries.
