412. A Sad Sad World

Sand City, the Capital of the Highland Kingdom. 

King Atrox Highland stood beside the river where a massive stone dam was constructed. It was the second of the two dams that he planned to build. One was already finished, and it rested in the middle segment of the river that passed through his land. 

His reason for building the dam was not political but economical. As per Sylvester's suggestion, he planned to submerge some parts of the lands in his Kingdom that rested beside the river. 

"Gladius, tell the builders to go with the plan. We need not wait for any permissions. Down south, only The Patch will be affected, for the Sorrow Kingdom has nothing left to lose now." King Highland ordered while proudly looking at his realm from a high tower.
