After the camps were prepared, plans to handle the beast tide began.

Throughout the first day they arrived at the bastide, a tower was under construction at the peak of the nearest mountain, which was a few hundred feet above the ground.

The ash mountains weren't known for their height, but the length is what made them more recognized.

It was a natural wall sealing away the other part of the world.

Also, according to Ark White, there was a huge chance they would find more mines in this mountain.

The next day, the tower was completed, and two Bonestrike Rangers were stationed there as lookouts. Their job was to light up a fire to inform the others before the beast tide arrived at the bastide. If they were taken unawares, there would be lots of damages, and Asher didn't want to lose even one elite soldier over lack of foresight and adequate planning. 

At this moment, Asher was with Alex, Eritrea and Lambert in a tent.
