Amarendra pov

He had always thought that his brother will always have his back. Now after seeing these past incidents from a different perspective made him doubt about his relationshop with bhalla and his uncle.

Bhalal loses his grip on the rope intentionally. But there was a huge knot at the end of the rope which got stuck between two rocks. Bahubali looks up smiling, thinking that Bhalal saved him.

Here bahubali looks at bhalla in accusing stare.

Bhalal takes out his sword and walks towards the rope. Just when he was gonna cut the rope, he saw Kattapa and other soldiers riding towards him. He then pretends to save Bahubali. He starts pulling the rope upwards.

        Kattapa and other join him to help him. Bahubali finally reaches up along with Saket. Kattapa pulls Saket by his shirt and takes him away with him. While bahubali looks at Bhalal and says,"Thank you brother"

Normal Pov

Kattapa beats Saket very badly and presents him infront of Shivgami.

She asks him,"You cheated us. You cheated the Kingdom. Why did you do it? Who are you working for?"

"Kalkeya", says Saket boldly.

Everyone present in the court remain silent out of shock.

He continues,"He will kill every single person in this kingdom. They will rape every single women.

   His men will break into your people's houses and exploit them.

They will take over this kingdom for themselves."

This rememberence of the war was a bitter pill to swallow to many of them.

Bhijaladev chuckles and says,"A coward may get afraid from this story of yours. We won't. We have 25000 men. What have they got?"

"One lakh men.",says Saket that made everyone speechless.

They had war coming up, for which they weren't ready. And they had so many men that kept Shivgami is deep thoughts.

She looks up at her sons and asks them,"What are we supposed to do with this situation? What is the solution?"

Bahubali comes forward and suggests,"We should use the trident strategy"

Advisor says,"That strategy are only written in books. Nobody knows how to use it in practical life"

Bhalal says,"That's exactly why Kalkeya won't see this coming. I agree with Trident strategy."

Shivgami approves too.

Trident strategy is a strategy where we attack the opponents and kill most of their men in the battlefield itself, before they come at us at our doorstep.

Shivgami looks at Kattapa and says,"We need to protect our Kingdom. And we also need to fight them. Kattapa, Tell me how many men will you need to guard the kingdom?

"5000 men, my queen. I'll block the front of the kingdom by making a V shape. We will create a wall against them", says Kattapa.

Bhalal comes forward and says,"i'll manage the north side"

"And i'll take over the southern part", says Bahubali.

They plan their war strategies using a model of their battlefield and soldiers.

After watching the strategozing session everyone was waiting to see the follow up process......

After a lot of planning, Bahubali exclaimed,"This is enough to win the war!"

Bhalal says,"This is more than enough to kill that bastard!"

Bhijaladev excitedly says,"Brilliant! Now we can even choose our king. Whoever kills Kalkeya would be our next King!"

Everyone looks at Shivgami for agreement.

She finally speaks,"The soldiers should be equally divided among both the prince. Taking advantage of an opportunity,both of you will attack Kalkeya from both sides. And whoever kills Kalkeya, wins the throne. You have my word. This is your challenge, accept it!"

Hearing this made Bhalla frown as he was still upset from his mother's judgement ...
