Shiv Pandav Vikramadhitya _ The Skywriter Of Chalukian Dynasty (Completed )

chapter 21

As the mammoths crush down their own soldiers, shravan and his men were waiting behind the doors patiently like lions who're trapping their prey. ..

  Guruji and suman who were on the balcony from their chamber witnessed the great start of the battle and awestruck with Shravan's brilliance. ..

  " He fooled not only the enemies but us also. ..now, I understood the secret behind the carved door. .."

Guruji smiled instead of getting embarrassed. ..

'How shravan could attract everyone. ..defenetly, he's a magician. ..'

    Suman thought herself and grew her eager to learn more about Shravan's war tactics. ..now, her love and admiration for him grew  beyond the sky. ..

 
   On the other side, Hidumbha tried his best to gather the remaining soldiers and made them to get in. ..He ordered the soldiers to bang the door with large wooden logs. ...

  
  As they were ready to hit the door, it opened wide. ..Surprisingly, Hidumbha could see no one in front of him. ..the courtyard was blank like a haunted playground. ..

Hidumbha 's senses arouse a knot of doubt. .. ..He was blank and had no idea what the enemy was upto. ..He ordered the soldiers to hold on. ..and inspected around. ...

Jayasimhan who was some yards away could see what's happening. ..He was astonished to see the mammoths attacking the soldiers. ..soon, Hidumbha organised everyone. ..though, jayasimhan had some cloudy thoughts,he still believed that Hidumbha  would return victorious. ..

     Sooner, the soldiers stepped in cautiously. ..While they were getting in, shravan and his men who were in the formation of tight row of six appeared. ...

   About a half  of them had came  inside with Hidumbha. ..

  Shravan raised his sword and ordered ....

"Now. .."

    There was a huge drum sound followed by his order. ..

   As these gestures made,  the doors  were closed  immediately. ...

  Simultaneously, the men who were on the other side changed the direction of river thungabhadra to the outside wall ,which they had engineered  with valves and slides. ..

Now, the river was flowing outside the fort in its original path. ..as a natural protection for the fort. ..

  
   Half of the soldiers stayed behind the river, as river thungabhadra was flowing fiercely. ..it seemed that she herself engaged in Shravan's war tactics to hold the enemies to stay away. ..

 
Her fearsome current warned them  not to dare even think to touch the princess fort. ..

And now, as per Shravan's plan. ..He had devided the crew and he's ready to engage now. ..

  
Hidumbha didn't bathered about whom they had stayed back. ..His only aim was to duel till he dies. ..He kicked his horse to run faster. ..

  Soldiers who're headed by shravan stayed calm and waited like  hungry lions. ...

  
  As Hidumbha was closure to shravan,  his speed reduced considerably as he saw 'neela '....

     He understood why princess Sumantha wasn't worried much. ..

'Yes. ..it's shiv. ..shiv Pandav Vikramadhitya. ..the dream warrior. ..princess Sumantha and princess fort is under his protection. ..'
