Chapter 34: Song and Dance

The summer of 778 in the continental calendar has come to an end.

If it is a plain area in the south, there may be a so-called "autumn tiger", but the Norma defense line is located in a mountainous area, and as soon as the heat is gone, it is a thick autumn.

For the two sides who are going to fight once in three or five days, autumn does not give people any positive feelings such as "autumn is cool", on the contrary, it will make people a little worried - after autumn, it is winter, and the Norma Mountains in winter are definitely not a friendly place.

In the past years, all the Norma offensive and defensive battles have almost always had to be truces in winter.

But the panda knows that this time it probably won't.

The previous winter, the Thracians conquered Leighton. No matter how cold the winter in the Norma Mountains is, it can't be as cold as Layton.

What he can think of, of course, the federal top brass can also think of. At present, the federal authorities are already stockpiling supplies for the winter, preparing to fight a difficult winter battle.

According to the Raiders team, this winter campaign will be quite unfavorable for the federal side. The Thracian military camp was relatively low, the temperature was relatively warm, and the pressure of cold protection was low, but the federal army was stationed on the mountain peaks, the terrain was high, the temperature was low, and in winter, the cold pressure would be very high.

Although the Federation has the money and manpower, and has more time to prepare, if they really have to fight in the harsh winter, the weather will greatly weaken their geographical advantage, and the situation will be quite difficult.

The traversers discussed this issue several times, and the final result was not optimistic. According to their deduction, if the Thracians did everything to storm it, it would be very difficult for the Molai side to survive this winter.

But even so, the Molai Merchant Federation is much better than it is in "history".

At least Thracian losses have increased a lot, and no matter how this battle is fought, the tens of thousands of people stationed in the Norma Line will not be dumpled like "history" and finally slaughtered en masse.

This means that even if they lose the battle, the lords of the northern part of the Federation will still have the confidence to negotiate peace, rather than surrender unconditionally.

Under the sunset, the panda sat on the tower of the "Hardware Coins" fortress, looking into the distance.

He did not look in the direction of the Thracian army, but at the rear of his own position.

In the southern part of the mountain range, in the camp in the "Silver Coins" area, a grand cabaret party is being held.

The song and dance party is organized by the "Sing If You Want to Sing" song and dance troupe, and the head of the song and dance troupe, Miss Samiramis, will bring many beautiful women who can sing and dance on stage, and there will also be performances such as magic, acrobatics and cross talk jokes, and the atmosphere is quite lively.

Semiramis is also a traverser of the "Reckless Piercing the Earth" guild, she is in the entertainment industry in reality, probably in the fifth or sixth year of the game, she participated in a talent show with good singing and dancing, and made it to the finals in one go, and finally won the fourth or fifth place. After that, she used the screen name "Dorothy" as her stage name, and made her debut as an idol singer, singing, dancing and shooting commercials, which was really popular for a while.

It's a pity that there are talented people in the country, and talent shows are held every year, and there are several of them every year. Semiramis is not the kind of person who is congenitally particularly good, in addition to being beautiful and singing well, she is really not talented enough in acting, and there is no strong sponsor behind her to support her, and her personality is not so "open", two or three years later, she gradually faded out of the entertainment industry and became a small wave in the tide of "entertainment to death".

This can be seen from her online time, in previous years, she had an average of three or four hours of online time every day. In the past few years in the entertainment industry, I can often only sign in online every day, and sometimes I even have to find someone to sign on my behalf. But in the past year or so, her online time has gradually increased.

According to her, she took out the money she had earned in the entertainment industry in the past few years to make a small convenience store and became the owner and proprietor.

To be honest, Panda has always wondered, when she was in the guild, Wang Tuhao, a seemingly cheerful but unfathomable tyrant, was okay, but among the players of "New World", there were actually a lot of second-class tyrants, why didn't she consider finding a certain tyrant to help, hype herself, and increase her popularity?

The past is gone, and after the crossing, Semiramis gradually regained her enthusiasm for the entertainment industry, she shouted the slogan "I want to be an idol", and pulled several travelers together to start this "sing if you want to" song and dance troupe. I also found a lot of artists of various races to carry out training, such as singing and dancing, which took a lot of time and energy.

After more than half a year of preparation, the "Sing If You Want to Sing" song and dance troupe finally began to tour in the northern part of the federation and was very popular. They also signed a contract with federal officials to come to the Norma Line once a month to perform to boost morale.

Whenever the cabaret came to perform, it was a festival for the soldiers of the Norma Line, who were in high spirits and fought for time off from the show so that they could get the chance to go to the rear to see the show.

Not to mention these ordinary soldiers who have never experienced the prosperous scenes of modern entertainment, even those nobles who usually spend time drinking in their own homes, they have never seen the modern singing and dancing entertainment created by Semiramis by magical means, and they are fascinated by watching them one by one.

But then comes the trouble.

The panda listened to the cheers faintly coming from the evening breeze and couldn't help but sigh softly.

There are many people who are popular, and it is the same everywhere.

Viscount Serrajon has taken a fancy to one of the dancers of the cabaret and wants to buy her home as his favorite concubine - well, let's just assume that he is telling the truth.

When the song and dance troupe came to perform last month, he sent someone to talk to Semiramis about it, and he was prevaricated by Semiramis at that time. But yesterday, when the song and dance troupe came to the Norma defense line, he sent people again, and this time his attitude was very tough, and he didn't mean to discuss or turn around at all, just to take people away.

This guy is also shrewd, he knows that his power is limited, and he doesn't have the idea of beating those popular stars. Panda thinks that maybe he is just a test sent by some people to test what kind of strength this song and dance troupe really has, and how determined they are, and how far they are willing to go?

But...... These temptresses are doomed to disappointment.

Since last month, Semiramis has been in contact with people in the chat channel, ready to deal with possible trouble. Last night, the envoy of Viscount Sera Jiong had just come to the station of the song and dance troupe, and she said that the old lady couldn't bear it anymore, and this time she had to give that bastard old pervert a little bit of power, let him know that it was powerful!

Many travelers responded to her call and came to help, and Panda was one of them.

After tonight's performance, it's time to rest in the second half of the night, and it's time for everyone to get started.
