The ga started as Venkat's team kicked the ball, starting the play. The ball sailed towards a soldier on his team. As the soldier saw the ball approaching, he tracked it while moving backwards to catch it. However, due to the sun's glare, he lost control of the ball and stumbled to the ground. Before he could regain his footing and retrieve the ball, it was snatched away from him. A soldier from the opposing team jumped up and grabbed the ball. Filled with excitent, this opponent soldier quickly dashed towards the scoring area, aiming for a touchdown.
Everyone was montarily stunned by the ball-carrying soldier. This distraction was imdiately countered as Venkat imdiately sent soone to tackle him. However, the tackle failed, as the person sent to tackle him fell down while running in high speed. Fortunately, he fell to the ground safely without any injury.
The players of the Venkat team were disappointed with the outco. But unlike them, the opposite team cheered loudly. Several players excitedly rushed to the ball-bearing soldier to lift him in the air, cheering.
"Hooraih."
"Hooraih."
An offensive opportunity was wasted. According to the rules set by Vijay, the attacker has three chances to advance the distance of 10 ters in the other half of the ga. Get three offensive opportunities, otherwise, you should be attacked by the opponent.
Nirmal was not in a hurry. He joked and said to the soldier that couldn't catch the ball, "Manu, did you exercise with your wife too many tis last night, so your hands and feet are weak and you can't even catch a ball?!"
The players laughed.
"Okay, brothers, this offence must let them see the strength of the strongest team in the army!"
The soldiers scread and cheered up.
The two sides lined up on the code line of the stop ball, and the middle of the road arrived at the sa ti. On both sides, one side was ready to catch the ball, and the other side was ready to block.
Although the ga was being played for the very first ti, the smart ones ca up with multiple strategies as they played.
The whistle sounded.
As the whistle sounded, the teams sprang into action. The sand clock ticking away showed the intensity of the match. Venkat's team regrouped quickly after the fumbled ball incident, looking forward to making up for the lost opportunity.
The soldiers on the field showed incredible agility and teamwork. The players changed positions quickly, passing the ball amongst themselves. Nirmal's team demonstrated their strategic prowess, using their plays to take advantage of the opposing team's weaknesses. The ga continued with a series of tackles, runs, and passes.
Each ti a player dashed toward the scoring area, excitent rippled through the audience. The spectators, a mixture of fellow cadets and instructors, cheered as the tension rose as the sand clock's tir drew nearer to completion.
Venkat's team managed to score a point after a well-coordinated play that caught Rohan's team off guard. The crowd erupted in cheers as the score was announced.
However, Rohan's team quickly regrouped and fought back. The opposing team showcased their own strategies, implenting passes and tactics they had co up with.
Within the dust and sweat of the field, the leadership qualities of the platoon officers were put to the test. The coaches on the sidelines, shouted instructions, adjusted tactics on the fly, and made quick decisions to seize opportunities. The squad leaders (now Quarterbacks) on the field not only showcased their physical prowess but also their ability to adapt and strategize under pressure.
The match continued with each team pushing themselves to their limits. The sand clock's final grains slipped through, signalling the end of the trial ga. Both teams were left panting but happy, having experienced a taste of the intense and tiring sport of rugby.
In a different part of the academy, a Kabaddi match was underway. Even though so rules were changed and others added, the soldiers quickly adapted to the new rules of the ga. Despite the alterations, the core essence of the ga remained the sa, a ga that many soldiers were familiar with from their childhoods. The soldiers gathered on a sandy field, with platoons divided into teams, and excitent and determination were evident in their eyes. One player, referred to as the "raider," stepped forward with muscles poised. Chanting "Kabaddi, Kabaddi," he ventured into the enemy territory of the opposing team.
The defenders got ready, fists clenched, waiting to react. The tension grew as the raider tried to touch an opponent and return safely. Defenders moved swiftly, hands outstretched, showing agility and strategy in their moves. The ga was full of energy, with quick reflexes deciding who succeeded.
The spectators, other soldiers watching, gasped and cheered as the raider narrowly escaped a defender's touch. He made it back to his side, panting but triumphant, earning points for his team. The ga continued, with each raid showcasing both strength and strategy.
Amidst the sunny field, there was laughter and friendly competition among the soldiers. The ga had a rhythm of its own, showing their unity. They improved their teamwork, quick thinking, and endurance. When the ga ended, the cheers filled the air, as the soldiers celebrated the successful Kabaddi match.
The sa excitent can also be seen at the Vijayanagara South Military Academy. Unbeknownst to Vijay, these gas will eventually beco known worldwide as the Bharatiya Military Olympics.
Due to the introduction of these gas, Vijayanagara laid a solid foundation for the formation of its own special forces through continuous MMA training. Additionally, many military talents erged as a result of this introduction.
In the future, these gas beca integrated into Bharatiya culture, spanning schools, colleges, and society, evolving into a billion-Varaha industry.
Because of the gas' popularity extended beyond the army, cultural integration beca smoother within the Vijayanagara Empire. In fact, so historians in the future even praised these gas as the single most significant contributing factor in combating the caste system.
****** I would like to give credit to Chen Rui, the author of the book "diterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece", As the Rugby ga in this novel, is heavily inspired by his work, please check it out.******
