In front of the camp, Azeryan was sitting on a small stool, holding a candle for his companion as Leon used a wooden stick to sketch the flow of Ustato Territory's major river on the muddy ground.
"...This is the main river channel that flows from the eastern upstream to the western side."
Leon spoke while sketching, roughly thirty kilometers to the west, a winding southward branch of the river appeared.
"And this, is the branch of the river where we are currently situated."
He outlined the dense forest separating the Ustato Hills and plains on the eastern and western banks of the branch.
"...This region has a gradually descending terrain from the northeast to the southwest. If we excavate a diversion channel upstream of the branch and construct a reservoir dam to block the water, we can redirect the branch to flow southwestward.
