16th May 1700.
Hawaii, Akhand Bharatiya Empire.
The war could be described as both dramatic and anticlimactic. Although that may sound contradictory, in reality it is not. The war was dramatic because countless lives were lost, a large number of warships were sunk, and immense destruction followed, with debris and wreckage still floating across the ocean.
At the same time, it felt anticlimactic because a conflict that was expected to last several months ended in just a few days, creating a surreal sense of, 'I only went to my hometown for a few days, and when I came back, how come the world has changed?'
Putting the oddities of the current reality aside, Agni had summoned all the military officers for a meeting to decide on the next course of action.
The location was still at the balcony of the port management office, facing the ocean, overlooking the warships docked at the harbour undergoing repairs and maintenance.
