July 28th, 1656
Surat, the region of Gujarat, Dakshin Bharatiya Empire
A sea of people had gathered in front of the army recruitment office of the Bharatiya Empire in Surat.
All these people were very consistent in their gender and age; all the people present near the recruitment office were men under the age of 40 and above the age of 16.
Due to the crowd present, the atmosphere was a little rowdy, especially considering that all these men were here to join the army, so their personalities were expected to be loud and forthcoming. Hence, the noise they generated was extra loud.
"Hey brother, do you think I will be recruited?"
"Who knows? The criteria to pass are very hard after all. I have already tried 5 times in the exam, and it is always due to the logical test that I fail. This time, I'm confident in my performance, so I should pass. Anyway, it's all God's blessing. Let's see how things turn out."
