July 1708
"London Bridge is falling down, falling down, falling down, London Bridge is falling down, my fair lady."
A group of well-equipped military men standing right outside a luxurious office room scratched their heads, not understanding why such a bizarre poem was being sung, but in the end, apart from the brief glances they gave each other, they did not do anything else and got back to duty
Within the office, an elderly man dressed in a regal military uniform casually hummed a tune as he sang the poem. Even though he had grey hair and a silver beard, he sat straight like a spear, with fine muscle lines still occasionally showing as the fabric curved along his body, completely unlike an old man.
The man was none other than Vijay Devaraya, the emperor of the Bharatiya Empire.
Vijay was in such a good mood because the report in front of him contained intelligence about the conquest of Lisbon, London, and several other important port cities and European naval bases.
