Far west.
Where the sea breathes against stone.
A coastal fortress became the first real test of Sambhaji's new system-driven command.
🏰 Sindhudurg Fort
A Mughal naval detachment approached under false merchant flags.
The old commanders would have waited.
Would have verified.
Would have delayed.
The System did not wait.

Sambhaji stood on the western bastion.
The wind crushed against his armour.

But the real danger was not the ships.
It was inside.
A bribe-paid officer planned to open the southern gate at low tide.
🧠 Betrayal Node Detected
Sambhaji closed his eyes.
Compassion Command pulsed.
Not mercy.
Clarity.
The officer froze mid-step when confronted.
Not by soldiers.
By the truth.
By the fact that escape had already disappeared.
The gate never opened.
When the disguised ships reached firing range—
The cannons spoke first.
Not in rage.
In precision.
One mast fell.
Then another.
Then panic spread across the decks.
The enemy never landed.
🔔 MAJOR DEFENSE EVENT
Outcome:
Zero civilian casualties.
No fort breach.
Enemy naval confidence – severe damage.
The fort still stood.
Not because of thicker walls.
But because the war was now being fought before it reached the walls.
Sambhaji watched the retreating ships.
And for the first time…
the System showed something new.
