Although Hardy completely took over the city of Kethran, he specially explained that he would not replace the banner of the eldest prince Kamaz Rommel for the time being.

He wanted to Yin the Northern Army.

Since the Northern Army likes to siege cities, let them come.

Hardy's ploy worked.

On the third day after the Francis coalition took over the city's defenses, the Northern Army launched another siege.

It's still the gray orcs who play the vanguard.

At this time, a small number of Franci's soldiers appeared on the city wall, waving the Rommel flag, showing that it was difficult to resist.

Then when a large number of gray orcs climbed up the city wall, the soldiers who had been ambushed rushed out directly from the left and right, killing the gray orcs to the ground.

Hadi then rushed out of the city gates with heavy cavalry, crushed three infantry regiments, and won a major victory in the battle.

And the process was almost exactly the same as the last time he defended Cirzeland.

Frightened, the Northern Army quickly retreated another five kilometers.

This victory directly brought nearly half a month of peace to the city of Cthirland.

There was no way, this time the losses of the Northern Army were even more serious than the last time, with more than 5,000 dead and more than 7,000 seriously wounded.

Such a number of dead and wounded, on the face of it, seems to account for only about one-tenth of the Northern Army.

But people can think wildly, they can be afraid and afraid.

It's also more empathetic.

Looking at the rotten bodies of his comrades-in-arms and the crippled and pitiful appearance of his comrades-in-arms, the morale of the entire Northern Army almost fell to the freezing point.

The huge black knight has become the demon of the Northern Army.

Now there are many people in the Northern Army who call him the Black Demon.

It is even believed that he is invincible.

But Hardy doesn't think so.

He was in his room at this time, looking at the book "Dismantling and Upgrading Magical Constructs".

Now he is preparing for the first experiment.

Nightmare Knight's 'Disintegration'.

This disintegration is not a physical disintegration, but a separation of man and horse.

Normally, the knight and the nightmare war horse are one.

The knight's mental power and magic power are channeled to the nightmare, and the nightmare then fuses with its own magic according to the obtained magic power to create a steel body that can be 'stationed' by the host's soul.

At the same time, the flexibility of this steel body is relatively good, so that the host can control it to make various movements.

However, R's research has found that the mana transmission between the knight and the nightmare is actually only necessary for the initial summoning time.

After that, the knight and the war horse, the magic power is restored separately and used separately.

In other words, after transforming into a Nightmare Knight, it is possible to separate people and horses.

What good is it if people can be separated?

. According to R, the biggest disadvantage of separating people and horses is that their mobility is weakened, but it can be exchanged for a great advantage: a great increase in magical ability.

According to their calculations, when the Nightmare Knight is on horseback, its own magic will fluctuate with the nightmare's magic.

Together, they form a special resonance field that strengthens Nightmare Rider's physical and magical resistances.

But there is something to gain, there is something to lose, the nightmare knight in the riding state, because the magic interferes with each other, so the magic is more difficult to form, which is the reason why it is difficult to use magic after becoming a nightmare knight.

The vast majority of Nightmare Knights also believe that their magic power is channeled into Nightmares, so their magic ability decreases.

Even Hardy had thought so before.

Now it seems...... He couldn't have been more wrong.

"Gotta try." Hardy closed the book and walked to the atrium.

There was no one here at this time, only a few guards patrolling in the distance.

A few seconds later, Hardy took on a nightmare form.

He calmed down and began to want to jump off the back of a nightmare horse.

Only to be surprised to find that he was 'fixed' to his mount.

In other words: his whole being is clinging to nightmares.

"What's going on?" Hardy was stunned.

It's not said in the book.

Then he tried again, and found that he was really stuck on the horse's back and couldn't jump.

To be exact, it was the steel bump he incarnated and the nightmare vest that were set up in one.

The moment the magic armor was formed, the human armor and the horse armor were already adhesive.

Could it be that when he transformed, something went wrong.

"What exactly is the problem?"

Hardy began to think.

He made a lot of assumptions, and he also changed many times, and then lifted the transformation, hoping to find out the pattern and the reason from it.

But it never worked, and as soon as he transformed, his armor and vest were sticky.

He even deliberately channeled the magical elements when he transformed, turning himself into a strange 'barrel' knight, and he didn't find anything important out of it.

After trying for most of the day, Hardy still couldn't get himself off the horse.

The mood is quite helpless.

At this time, Mrs. Sissi came out of the house with the two female players.

They had been drinking afternoon tea on the balcony before, and when they saw Hardy transform for a while, and then lift the transformation, so repeatedly, they were quite curious, so they came down.

"Hardy, what are you doing here?" Lady Sissi asked.

Hardy laughed and said what he had just done.

Hearing that Hardy's magical abilities would not be limited when the humans and horses were separated, Lady Sissi was also quite interested.

After all, the more powerful Hardy is, doesn't it mean that they make Na's family stronger.

"Then you work hard, if you need magic materials for experiments, you can ask me for money...... I'll buy the materials for you. Lady Sissi said softly.

Alice looked at Hardy with a look of admiration.

This NPC, who gave her wonderful feelings in the game, has become a frequent visitor in her dreams.

Hardy looked at Lady Sissi gratefully.

There were no magic materials used in this experiment, but Mrs. Sissi's attitude made people like it very much.

At this time, Nicai suddenly said loudly: "Your Excellency Hardy, if it is not your will, then is it possible that the adhesion between the human armor and the vest will be the will of the Nightmare War Horse?" ”

Hardy was stunned: "It's unlikely, it's just an animal with little self-awareness." ”

Nicai shook her head: "I don't think that the Nightmare War Horse that can use magic is just an ordinary demon creature, what if it really has a consciousness or a soul?" You can ask about it. ”

Hardy pondered.

As a man, he seldom thinks about it from this point of view.

Does the Nightmare Warhorse have a soul and a strong sense of self?

But it sounds like there's some truth to that.

So he summoned the Nightmare War Horse again, then leaned over and patted the horse's neck and said, "I want to go down and walk, don't stop me, is that okay?" ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Hardy heard a thud beneath him, as if some metal object had broken.

Then Hardy felt a sense of relief, and he tried, and sure enough, he jumped off the horse.

He was more than four meters tall on horseback, but when he jumped off the back of a nightmare horse, he was just over three meters tall.

But even then, it's still extremely frightening.

A black, fully armed, three-meter-tall giant stared at whoever was pregnant.
