Chapter 259: A Knight Never Forgets a Grudge (2)
It hardly needed saying, but Pendragon was currently in a state of war.
The repeated terrorist attacks by the heretics had been devastating.
The damage they inflicted on Pendragon was catastrophic—most recently, the collapse of the Great Cathedral and the destruction of half of House Offen’s estate.
The scale of their threat had finally sent chills down the spines of the ruling elite.
But the most laughable part of all this was—
No one knew exactly who these heretics were.
Their organizational structure, their numbers, their leaders, and the true mastermind behind them—
Everything was a mystery.
The only thing they knew for certain was that the heretics originated from the Blood Crusaders, a long-defeated army crushed by the God of War.
However, the current iteration was completely different from its predecessor.
Their scale, composition, and methods bore no resemblance to the past, rendering any old intelligence utterly useless.
Even when the apostates within the Great Cathedral—who had maintained hidden ties with the Blood Crusaders—were discovered, they were nothing more than expendable pawns who were swiftly discarded and burned alive by their own organization.
