There were four huts in the house, one hut was burnt to ashes, the roofs of two huts were completely burnt, and only the kitchen hut was left whose half roof was destroyed.
Mahavira gave some signal. All the soldiers came into action. The soldiers cleaned the ashes spread in the courtyard. Some soldiers started cutting bamboo from the bamboo sticks kept outside. The pain in Vidhan's thigh increased and he felt very weak, so he sat near Ruby and started watching their activities.
The soldiers' horses were laden with lots of goods. They took out various tools and ropes and started making temporary repairs to the hut with the help of bamboo cut from the bamboo grove. Some villagers came out of curiosity seeing the strange yellow smoke rising in the sky, but on seeing the soldiers they got frightened and ran away.
He was very surprised that the huts which took him the whole day to build were made habitable by those soldiers in a very short time. Although they were not as strong as before, still temporary repairs had been done.
A lot of questions were arising in Vidhan's mind. Sudas's enmity with Guru Kan and his murder in the Monastery, the attack on him by archers, the invitation to him from Arthala, the prince of the Yeti dwarfs about whom he had only heard stories, was present in front of him. He wanted answers to all the questions immediately. He was feeling weak now and then.
After repairing the hut, all the soldiers stood in a disciplined line. Mahavira signaled Rupak. Rupak distributed the tasks among the soldiers. Four soldiers were stationed around the house for vigilance. An archer climbed the neem tree and stationed himself. Mahavira, Rupak, Anuj, Vidhan and the remaining fifteen soldiers sat in a circle in the middle of the courtyard.
Everyone was quiet and staring at Vidhan. Vidhan got a little disturbed by their staring. Dwarf Anuj said- "Poisoned arrows were used on you, so the medicine I have applied to the wound will make you feel powerless for some time."
Vidhan found the dwarf Yeti's voice very friendly and sweet. He looked at him carefully. The Yeti's monkey mask seemed to be made of some flexible material. When he spoke, his moving lips were visible. His thick eyebrows met his hair. He had long brown hair and a gold band tied on his forehead with a small red gem embedded in the middle. That gold band tied his long hair. His brown beard met his hair at the temples.
Vidhan cleared his throat and said politely, "I am very confused about you people, please explain your purpose in detail."
Rupak started to say, "Sir Vidhan, I have already introduced myself and all the people present here. It is not in my jurisdiction to tell and explain everything. I am telling you as much as I am authorised to clear your doubts."
Rupak said- "Mundra kingdom is situated to the east of Kundar. Twenty years ago Mundra emperor Siddharth started his campaign to become the king of the earth. With his huge army, he destroyed the entire Jambudweep. He became the emperor by conquering many kingdoms, but to receive the title of king of the earth he had to conquer the entire Jambudweep and bring it under one banner. Arthala was the biggest obstacle in his campaign.
So fifteen years ago a fierce battle took place between Arthala and Mundra. In that great battle, the water of Ganga from Sangam to Kashi became red with blood, hence that great battle is called Raktganga-Sangram. Arthala survived that battle, but the King of Arthala died in that battle. In his dying state, he ordered to implement of the law of Women supreme in Arthala. According to Women supreme, Queen Vasundhara took over the throne of Arthala.
Everything remained orderly for some time, but in the patriarchal society, some people in power did not like being ruled by a woman.
Due to the economic and military losses in the battle of Raktganga and the internal conspiracies that followed, Arthala became powerless. Five years ago, the situation had become extremely bad. If Amarkhand had not given support, then Emperor Siddharth would have crushed Arthala at that time itself..."
Rupak stopped and asked Vidhan- "You must be aware of Amarkhand.
"I only know that it is a very large University, where all the princes of Jambudweep receive education," Vidhan replied flatly.
Rupak said- "Amarkhand was established sometime after the foundation of the Dhata dynasty was laid in Arthala three hundred years ago. Initially, Amarkhand was established as an education center, but seeing its importance, it gradually became the center point of Jambudweep. Be it the settlement of any political dispute or emergency, Amarkhand has always protected Jambudweep like a guardian. At present, the entire Jambudweep is in deep trouble. The first crisis is Emperor Siddharth. If he wins Arthala and becomes the ruler of the earth, he will destroy Amarkhand to vent his frustration. Just as the system of a home breaks down due to the absence of a guardian, similarly, as soon as Amarkhand is destroyed, Jambudweep will also be torn apart and the Asura and Devil tribes, who were already lying in wait, will take over Jambudweep. As soon as they take over, the thousands of years old culture and civilization of this country will be destroyed. Everything will be destroyed".
