Man With Super Medical Skill (Matthew) novel Chapter 3550

"Strong?"

The rebel commander scoffed as he glanced back at his well-armed troops. "No matter how strong he is, you think he can take on 10,000 men?"

Turning to his lieutenant, he barked out, "Have 100 men follow me. I want to see who's foolish enough to stand in my way. He must have a death wish."

"Yes, sir!"

The lieutenant swiftly gathered 100 soldiers, and together, they marched toward the edge of the forest.

Emerging from the trees, they spotted Matthew standing alone at the clearing's edge.

At the sight of him, the rebel commander let out a derisive laugh, his eyes full of scorn. "This is the guy you were so scared of? This is the one you said you couldn't beat?"

The scout, still shaken, nodded hesitantly. "Yes, sir. It's him. We had over a dozen men, but he wiped us out like it was nothing."

The commander chuckled, glancing at Matthew with mocking amusement. "Hey, kid. I hear you can fight. Well, lucky for you, we're pretty good at it too. Wanna give it a shot?"

Behind him, the soldiers and his lieutenant burst into laughter, the sound echoing through the woods. They thought Matthew was stupidly brave to take them on singlehandedly.

They had nearly eight thousand combat troops stationed in the forest. Even with the additional thousand logistics personnel, they still claimed a force of ten thousand. Surely, there was nothing one man could do against that.

But Matthew simply gazed at them, unmoved by their laughter. He recalled the same smug expression Brennan had worn just moments before his death.

"You've committed treason by surrounding the Governor's Keep—that alone warrants death. You've gathered in armed numbers, violating the law—that's your second capital offense. And you aided Brennan Dallinger in his plot against Olexar Lew—your third."

Matthew's voice dropped to a cold, measured tone. "Tell me—what reason do you have to live?"

Since Orla was his ally, Matthew figured he might as well help her clean up these lingering nuisances.

The commander threw back his head and laughed. "Listen to this guy, talking like he's some grandmaster of justice!"

Then, as if struck by a sudden thought, he grinned wickedly and called out, "Hey, pretty boy—you sleeping with that Governor chick? Maybe after I break down her gates, my men and I will take turns seeing what she's like, eh?"
