Salute To The General

Nathan understood clearly that Lucius and his group had ill intentions. Even if he stopped Mentzer from performing the war dance, Lucius and the others would still find another excuse to cause trouble. It's better to go with the flow and taking the problem head on.

Nathan smiled and said, "Since Mentzer himself wants to perform the war dance to liven up the atmosphere, let's all enjoy it. Music please!"

The palace orchestra immediately played the traditional war dance music of the Gods.

The next moment, the stirring battle anthem echoed throughout the Divine Palace, quickening the heartbeat of everyone present. Their adrenaline surged, filling them with a sense of excitement and anticipation.

With his head held high and chest puffed out, Mentzer strode into the open space in the middle of the banquet hall. Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, he assumed his starting position, ready to perform the war dance. "Ha Yi!"

Suddenly, he let out a strange cry.

The booming sound gave Nathan quite a fright.

Immediately after, he launched into a vigorous yet strange dance.

On the whole, it bore some resemblance to the war dance of the people of Adrune from Earth. However, the movements were even more imposing and powerful, while the techniques were highly practical for actual combat. In the beginning, Mentzer danced in a disciplined and orderly manner, but gradually, things started to change.

Gradually, he made his way toward Nathan. He danced around, throwing punches and kicks in front of Nathan. Suddenly, he reached out, and with a swift 'click', he drew a sword from the waist of a guard standing next to Nathan. The guard's face drastically changed.

The rest of the guards, too, swiftly drew their weapons to protect Nathan.

Not far away, Hepburn, along with formidable warriors like Toothless and Solo, abruptly stood up.

Nevertheless, Mentzer wore a broad smile, waving his hand as he said, "Calm down, calm down. I merely wish to borrow the sword for a moment to show His Majesty a trick or two. His Majesty didn't say anything, so why are you all panicking? You surely don't think I pose any threat to His Majesty, do you? Are you overestimating me, or underestimating His Majesty's power?"

Nathan waved his hand, instructing his subordinates in a nonchalant tone, "Everyone, return to your seats!"

"Understood!"

The guards retreated to their original positions, while Hepburn and the others sat back down. However, their eyes were firmly fixed on Mentzer.

With an indiscernible smile, Mentzer said to Nathan, "Your Majesty, a mere war dance isn't thrilling enough. Allow me to perform a sword routine for you."

After saying that, he then began to dance with his sword.

Lucius and the others broke into applause.

All of a sudden, with a swift thrust of his sword, Mentzer flicked up a glass of fine wine and invited with a smile, "Your Majesty, have a drink."

After saying that, he brandished his sword once more. With the tip of his long sword, he lifted the wine glass, and with a swift and forceful motion, he extended it toward Nathan.

Although it appeared to be a mere offering of wine, in reality, the thrust was made with overwhelming force.

Before the sword even approached, Nathan felt a surge of sword energy coming straight at him, causing a stinging pain in his cheeks.

The power of the sword was far more terrifying than it appeared.

At that moment, Mentzer was truly determined to pierce Nathan's throat with a single sword thrust.

Hepburn, along with Toothless and Solo, all cried out in shock. They were just about to leap forward to intervene, but Nathan had already made his move.noveldrama

Nathan was seen reaching out, effortlessly picking up the glass of wine from the sword. At the same time, he lightly flicked his finger against the long sword. Clang!

A crisp sound echoed out.

At the same time, an incredibly powerful force was transmitted to Mentzer's hand through his long sword.

As if struck by lightning, Mentzer's

body jolted causing him to stagger back six or seven steps before he managed to steady himself. His entire right arm went completely numb, preventing him from even lifting it.

His eyes widened in shock, while his face filled with disbelief as he stared at Nathan.

He's incredibly strong. That was truly impressive!

With just a casual move, Nathan had managed to numb half of his body.

It was a truly terrifying display.

If Nathan were to get serious, one could only imagine how formidable he would be.

Lucius looked at Mentzer, who seemed to be in shock, and said in displeasure; "Mentzer, why aren't you continuing your dance? I'm sure you have more to show off to His Majesty. What are you standing there for?"

Mentzer's face was extremely pale as he lowered his voice and said T was just repelled by him. Half of my arm is now numb, and I can't move it. You guys need to help me quickly." en
