What does it mean? Please help.

Heard this said by Guildenstern in the video game Onimusha: Warlords - "Nan do chu?"

What does it mean? I asked my co-worker who is a native speaker from Japan and she said it doesn't mean anything.

But it seemed like she knew, but didn't want to say... I may be mistaken. She's hard to read.

YouTube - ‪Onimusha 1 Warlords - Full Story version (Part 6 Defeat Fortinbras)‬&rlm;

Here is a video of the scene where the phrase is spoken at time mark 1:43.

Thanks a lot!

Hello, Tturtle

I'm japanese native speaker.
I try to answer.

He didn't say "nan-do-cyu"
He said "nan da to?"

That means "What are you saying that?"
or
"Why did you say such a stupit things"
He is getting angry.
and He could't understand his word.

The monster has a grate power and felt proud of it.
The monster can't understand Why onimusya try to beat me.
The reason why The monster thinks that" I am more more more stronger than onimusya."
There is no use to try me.
