The place that Iron had accidentally discovered was in the vicinity of the 8th guard post. It was a place where the stairs, the walls and part of the guard post had already collapsed. It was probably broken due to the movements of some monsters in the area. Even the other guard posts in the vicinity were also in extremely bad conditions.

The vice outpost leader only arrived here recently and he did not have enough time to do repairs. The other executives were also replaced so the guard posts remained in a state of disrepair for quite a long period of time.

However, considering that this was written like this in the work journal, there was a high possibility that the actual condition of the area and the guard post was much worse than what was already described.

“We’ll have to fix all of this but…”

Looking carefully at the words written on the work journal, it seemed like all of the guard posts were left in a mess. The place was already hard to work at since supplies hardly came by but it seemed like it had been neglected to this point because the previous executives did not put in work for repairs at all.

“I should roll them harder in the morning.”

Iron couldn’t help but smile wickedly. He couldn’t wait to roll the sergeant and the corporals hard.

Since the 8th guard post was located in the middle of the mountains, he intended to repair the other guard posts. They were already going to pass by the guard posts on their way to the 8th one so he wanted to repair all those that needed minor repairs.

And since this was a work that couldn’t be finished in just a single day, he would ask them to carry a tent and go up in full military gear. And since this place was dangerous by nature, the others also had to bring their weapons to protect themselves in case a monster appeared.

“I should make it a bit safer this time around.”

Iron began to prepare the documents needed for the guard posts’ maintenance and repair work with a wicked smile still hung on his face.

Iron wrote a report that he would send to his company commander based on the writings in the work journal and Sergeant Sean’s suggestions. He also made sure to add his own opinions in the report. He wrote about the high probability of a problem occuring if things remained as is. He also attached a report about the current monster trends. He did all of this to make sure that the company commander would accept his proposal.

According to his report, signs of the monster wave had appeared in the Northeast. He also wrote that the army had seen the monsters’ abnormal behavior all over the Winter Mountains and eventually brought fear and anxiety to the soldiers. If this continued on their anxiety would get worse and their efficiency would drop. So to relieve the anxiety of the soldiers and to prevent their morale from dropping, he proposed the strengthening of the guard posts. He also made sure to add a report asking for materials for the reinforcement procedures.
