At the same time, while conducting their training, the Iron Stone Guards discovered two additional iron-stone veins and a forest of ironwood trees. This information has already been reported to City Lord Wang Yuan and Lord Mo Di; after the Beast Tide subsides, they will dispatch personnel to survey the areas and proceed with logging and mining operations.
"Very well. Given that the 1,500 veterans of the Iron Stone Guards have all reached the strength of Rank 7, Rank 8, or Peak Ninth-Rank Martial Master, I would like the two generals to inform all members of the Iron Stone Guards that those who hunt the most demonic beasts during this Beast Tide will receive rewards based on their rankings.
"I hope all members of the Iron Stone Guards will fully demonstrate their combat capabilities and tactical ingenuity. This ranking will span the entire duration of the Beast Tide, based on the quantity of demonic beasts hunted. Draw up a set of competition rules and handle the statistics, much like the evaluation system used during your first training exercises in the Tieshi Mountains, so that every member of the Iron Stone Guards is fully engaged.
