I was nervous
Standing at the mansion of the richest man of whole Rashtrakut Empire. Arya Heggade a man plump of physique, dark of skin, wearing lavish clothes and accessories, son of former finance minister and a poor person like me standing infront of him helplessly and bought by old man of my crew whose name also I don't know.
I am really stupid
So you intend for a army budget. His voice was serious and professional. Y-y-y-yes m-m-m-m-m'lord. By seeing his face I can tell that he was so much disappointed.
He sighed as replied "ok I will give you 100 thousand ctharn and the force of 10,000 thousand army consisting 2,000 cavalry and 8,000 infantry, I know you willing be thinking that why I am going to give all this to you for free"?
Yes I replied and he answered pointing towards the old man "I had a debt on lord Adivarah and only on his wish I am lending you all of this".
His servant then take me and old man Adivarah to his personal small barrack with ground where I saw this army of mine.
I saw a man in mid 30's looking like a experienced warrior, tall and well-muscled and by seeing the patterns of the armour I was sure he was the general of army his skill, strength, speed, endurance, conviction, technique, and body was all greater than me.
After completing his test a servent attended him and tell him about me then he came infront of me and said calmly "So you are my new boss".
He stared at me from leg to head and said that I look pretty waek to me and I replied that my name is abu rayhan Muhammad ibn Ahmed al-Biruni. He said "My name is Raghuvir ....".
He hesitated at the time of clan name and changed the topic by saying that by what name he can call me so I said he can call me al-Biruni.
I give him the payment for all soldiers which cost me half the money I was given. After that he asked me "So al-Biruni lord general of....", "Pindaris I name my group Pindari and about where are we about to go...let's head towards North maybe beyond Vindhyachal mountain".
And that's how I started to go towards my worst experience of life.
