A reported thought is the same as reported speech. You'd need to backshift:
"I thought nobody could kill us then." But it loses all its punch.
You might want to use direct speech:
After that I thought [to myself], "Nobody can kill us now!" And when we met the enemy, I wasn't scared.
"I thought nobody could kill us then." But it loses all its punch.
