Dakshin Bharatiya Empire, Region of Gujarat, Karnavati (Ahmedabad)
Vijay, after making his preparations and reluctantly saying goodbye to Kavya, immediately travelled to the new eastern frontier in the region of Gujarat. In the meantime, the defensive capabilities of the empire at the northern border have increased immensely.
The 100,000 police officers Vijay had ordered Arjun to recruit are now fully trained in the basic tasks of police officers and have joined the workforce under the leadership of a few veteran officers.
As for their weapons, they were equipped with the retired muskets and flintlocks of the Empire's military, as these are currently being replaced by the Brown Bess musket and the bayonet.
