Nur-ud-din Mohammed Farrukh, the Emperor of the Mughals, sat on the ornate throne in the royal court, looking down at the discussion commencing.
The topic was the upcoming war efforts against the Marathas. It was the last meeting before they departed to the border and officially declared war on the kingdom. They had already sent a message to the Qutbs and Portuguese.
Moin Ali, a minister in the court, suggested. "We should use Askar Khan as the vanguard towards the capital city, Karnavati."
Fakir Abdul nodded, agreeing to his statement. "Yes, Askar Khan is our strongest commander. He won't lose; there are only a few people that could best him in a fight."
"Askar is strong, but there is the king of the Marathas and the royal commander. They are much stronger than Askar. We need to divert them away from Askar and send him towards the capital." Shahbaz suggested.
