Salute to the General novel Chapter 3560

If Nathan was not seriously injured, they wouldn't stand a chance against him.

The two exchanged glances.

Otto lowered his voice and said, “The information was incorrect. Elder Mongo said that Nathan was seriously injured and on the brink of death, but clearly, that's not the case now. Should we leave first?”

Lukas was also considering retreating first, to gather more help, and then deal with Nathan.

However, he suddenly noticed that Nathan had been sitting on the ground the whole time, never once standing up.

He had a deep love for Eurasian culture and had read Eurasia's Four Great Classical Novels as well as The Art of War. An idea popped into his head.

He narrowed his eyes, a cold laugh escaping his lips. “Heh, we almost fell for his trick.”

Nathan looked toward Lukas.

Otto, equally perplexed, asked, “What do you mean by that?”

Lukas crossed his arms and looked at Nathan with a cold, mocking smile. He confidently voiced his deduction, “Otto, have you noticed? He's been sitting on the ground the whole time, hasn't stood up, nor moved an inch.”

Otto nodded subconsciously, “It seems so, what's up?”

Lukas sneered, “Do you know why he's like this? Because he was seriously injured, even the slightest movement became very difficult for him.”

Otto's eyes widened. “What?”

Lukas said, “He feigned calmness, even deliberately showing us the food and water from the Curia, just to let us see. He's trying to scare us into running away immediately. In fact, he's just pretending to be strong. He's really not up to it anymore. According to their Eurasian strategy, this is called presenting a bold front to conceal a weak defense.”

Otto exclaimed with delight, “Really?”

With a swift motion, Lukas unsheathed the claymore from his waist, squinting his eyes, he asked Nathan with a cold smirk, “Mr. Cross, don't you agree with what I said?”

Seeing the situation, Otto also drew his claymore, vigilantly watching Nathan.

Nathan looked at the two guys in front of him, gave a light smile, and stood up. He said calmly, “That's right, I'm injured. But killing you two is still as easy as a piece of cake.”

Nathan was telling the truth.

He was injured, previously quite severely. But in his semi-conscious state, he had consumed the fresh blood of a few of Cassius' men. His vampiric constitution had already repaired the damaged parts of his body, and his injuries had significantly eased.

As for why he was sitting on the ground motionless and why didn't he take the initiative to kill Otto and Lukas, it was simply because he didn't want to expend too much energy.

As a man with a military background, he always preferred to maintain his energy at its peak whenever possible.

In such a perilous forest, Nathan would strictly control his pace while walking. He was like a fierce beast, leisurely strolling when not hunting.
