The "silver coin" defense line in the Norma Mountains is very different from the previous "gold coin" defense line. The main body of this line of defense is not strong walls and fortresses, but towering mountain peaks. Strictly speaking, it is made up of mountain peaks and ropeways that connect the peaks. These ropeways are made of special materials that are extremely tough and incomprehensible, and there are many enchanted trolleys that can quickly transport soldiers and materials.

From this point of view, it is much stronger than the gold coin defense line, which can only rely on the communication between the walls and the tunnels. But the mountain is not as strong as the walls, and if the Thracians had enough strength to stare at the mountain and attack, it would not take many days to collapse a mountain. When the mountain collapsed, the fortress on the top of the mountain was naturally finished, and there was no need to even attack the city.

This hidden danger can be seen by anyone with a discerning eye, Duke Norma, as the commander-in-chief of the Norma defense line, even if he is not smart enough, there is always a shortage of smart people under his hands, and he naturally knows the fatal wound of the silver coin defense line.

But...... There's nothing he can do.

When the Norma Line was built, the "Gold Coins" area was almost the entire Molai Commercial Federation, and only then did it have those walls that were stronger than steel. Later, when the "silver coin" defense line was built, it was only a joint effort of several big nobles in the north of the Federation, in addition to the good location, which can be condescending, the only bright spot is those ropeways, and it is really impossible to rebuild the solidity of the cash coin defense line.

The silver coin defense line is actually okay, and when it comes to the copper coin defense line, it is just that the Norma family has built it one after another over the years, and the defense power is ...... It's probably just an ordinary walled city. Aside from a slight height advantage, there's hardly anything special.

If the three lines of defense are reversed, the copper coin defense line will not be able to hold out for a few months, even a few days.

This is really the key reason why the Thracians were attacked from both sides in "history", the Norma defense line would quickly collapse, and even tens of thousands of troops were dumpled.

Fortunately, because of the influence of Panda and others, the Thracian diving force that was supposed to capture Pollock City and surprise attack the Norma defense line from behind changed its policy and turned to harass the various coastal ports of the Federation, otherwise, I am afraid that the Norma defense line at this moment has long been unable to be saved.

After the pandas arrived at the Norma Line, they were assigned to the front line after a little vetting - mainly using polygraph spells to check reliability and testing their martial arts.

With their abilities and status, this is a matter of course. Most of the wars in the Western Continent involve mercenaries fighting in the most dangerous places, while the regular armies of the lords' descendants will fight in relatively safe places. Just like when the death squad attacked the super giant catapult, among the dozen or so daredevils, only three came from the regular army.

However, Duke Norma was at least very good at giving money, and every time the Volunteers fought, the bonus was paid immediately, without the slightest delay.

Albeit...... Because of the price of goods and various other consumptions, the money earned by the volunteers with their lives is often not saved......

Neither Root (Panda's new pseudonym) nor Hammer Hill (Horus's new pseudonym) have any interest in extravagant spending, except for Harlot (Huck's new pseudonym) who spends a bit of extravagance - he loves good food and beautiful women, and after every battle, he will take a few days off and leave for a few days, go to Norma City to spend a lot of time, and then come back to continue the fight when the money runs out.

As for Panda and Horus, in addition to fighting, they practiced martial arts in their dormitories.

Both of them are martial arts departments, and the difference in level is not much, so if they have nothing to do, they can also get a lot of experience points - at least a little more than exercising themselves.

Of course, in addition to the competition, they are also honing their skills. This can only be practiced on your own, whether it is the panda's double knife or Horus's hammer shield, you need to practice repeatedly to be fully proficient, if you don't practice enough, even if the skill level is high, the shot will be a little dull, the power may be big enough, but the dexterity is always inferior.

In contrast, Naikhardt is much easier, after all, he is a range, as long as the melee skills can be used at critical moments, just rely on the skills to push up, no additional practice is required, so he lives freely, going back and forth between the front line and the rear, but has accumulated some fame in the Fengyue place in Norma City.

During this time, the Thracians naturally attacked the Norma defense line repeatedly. Once the gold defense line is completely captured, the giant catapult loses its use - no matter how tall the catapult is, it cannot throw stones at the Silver Coin Fortress located on the top of the mountain. They could only keep attacking the mountain, trying to collapse the peak, so that the fortress on the top of the mountain collapsed with it.

Whenever the Thracians began to attack the mountains, the Molai elite would take the initiative to disrupt their movements. Relying on the ropeway, the forces of the Silver Coin defense line were mobilized extremely quickly, and there were almost no loopholes. Often, Thracian talents set off from the foot of the mountain, and before they could reach the mountainside for construction, the Molai elite had already rushed down from the mountain, and the two sides fought.

This kind of battle is actually a disadvantage for the Molai side, but they have no choice, if they don't fight, will they watch the Thracians destroy the mountain, and finally cause the mountain to collapse, and end up with the fortress above?

In each battle, the Morian side suffered more losses than Thrace. Every time the war report arrived, Duke Norma shook his head again and again after reading it.

Seeing that if the fight continued like this, the silver coin defense line would be in jeopardy, and at this time, the head of the "Sing If You Want to Sing" song and dance troupe, who had come to the Norma defense line again to present the New Year's song and dance performance, made an interesting suggestion.

Pour a lot of water from the top of the mountain, and then use climate magic to make the weather around Norma even colder, making the mountains freeze everywhere and make it difficult to walk.

No matter how elite the Thracians were, it was absolutely impossible to fight and build on the steep and icy slopes.

This suggestion was so delighted that Duke Norma immediately put it into practice, and within a few days, several of the peaks bordering the Thracian position were shrouded in a layer of "armor" that reflected silver in the sun.

That's a thick layer of ice.

In the face of these ices, the Thracians were dumbfounded, and after several temptations, they finally sighed helplessly.

Not only is it sturdy, but more importantly, it's slippery. Not to mention fighting on the hillside, even if you want to climb it, it is not something that ordinary people can do.

Of course, there were also masters in the Thracian army who could walk like a fly on the ice, but they could not use those masters as civilian laborers to dig mountains.

So the battle dragged on........
