Hampi, Vijayanagara Empire.
Bhairava sat on the chair all alone in his tent. His eyes dazed and lifeless. The battle was taking a toll on his mental health. The fifth and sixth days of the battle passed in a blur. He was constantly outmaneuvered by Chandra.
Casualties kept mounting; soldiers were injured. The constant defeat and no breakthrough demoralized the soldiers a lot.
Only a few cannons were operable. The cannon crew was ambushed not once but three times during the fifth and sixth days, and the cannon's were merely operating at the tenth of their power.
Most of the Mahouts of the war elephants died. The cavalry were not able to make a breakthrough during the two days. He also lost four commanders in the battle, adding salt to the wound.
Bhairava barely had any sleep for the last two days, coupled with the battle fatigue. He was functioning like a puppet to get to his goal of getting revenge for his mother.
