Gospel of Blood

Chapter 64: Rose Society's Encirclement

Like wandering serpents, lightning slashed through the night sky, and the booming thunder resembled rushing torrents. The howling winds and bean-sized raindrops, like countless pearls, hammered down from the canopy, turning the uneven streets of the outer city district into a muddy mess.

On both sides of the street, every household tightly shut their doors, even extinguishing the candlelight, as if afraid of attracting attention.

In the heart of the outer city district lies the Rose Manor. This is the largest estate in the outer city district and also the core base of the Rose Society. And at this moment, in this beautiful garden filled with roses, a fierce battle is taking place.

A huge translucent divine magic barrier shrouded the entire estate, with mysterious runes faintly visible swirling around it.

Inside the barrier, under the leadership of the Judgment Knights clad in red and white uniforms, hundreds of novice judgment knights were battling against the last stubborn resistance of Rose Society's Extraordinaires, led by a Judgment Knight wearing a red divine robe.

The Judgment Knights shimmered with a golden light on their bodies under the illumination of the divine magic barrier, as if forming an impenetrable shield.

They paid no attention to the attacks of Rose Society's extraordinary, effortlessly defeating one opponent after another.

Amidst the intertwining sounds of wind, rain, and thunder, cries of agony, angry curses, and clashes of swords, chants of spells were faintly audible.

On the ground, trampled rose petals scattered all over, mingling with crimson blood to form streams, but they were soon washed clean by the rain.

Several Judgment Knights, draped in red cloaks and wielding silver swords in the shape of a cross, sat on dragon-scale horses, coldly observing the manor amid the storm.

Their chests embroidered with silver moon marked them as the leading Second-tier Silver Moon Judgment Knights.

The leader appeared to be a middle-aged man in his forties. With gray curly hair, a hooked nose, and pale gray eyes filled with indifference.

The bean-sized raindrops fell, but about ten centimeters away from him, they slid freely to both sides, forming a rain-free zone around him, not even wetting his clothes.

Discharge of source power. This is the greatest symbol of the Second-tier Silver Moon knights.

Glancing at the sky, his gaze fell on the divine magic barrier shrouding the estate, and he coldly inquired.

"Have they been sealed with Judgment Prison?"

The accompanying judgment knight respectfully replied.

"Yes, Lord Rajiv, it has been sealed, and no evil-doers within the manor will be spared."

"Pay attention to the underground. These kinds of gangs often build secret tunnels to escape through underground. Don't let them get away. Although the city gates have been closed, it will still be troublesome to search in the outer city district."

Rajiv, the Second-tier Judgment Knight, said lightly.

"Understood."

The judgment knight bowed and then led several novice judgment knights into the estate. Meanwhile, Second-tier Knight Rajiv continued to coldly watch the manor amidst the storm.

He was not worried about the outcome of this battle to eradicate Rosae Society. In fact, with the Judgment Prison enveloping the manor, the Second-tier knights didn't even need to take action.

Although the Rose Society wielded supernatural powers, the vast majority were zero-tier extraordinaires, and there were not many who had reached the first-tier Starry Sky.

As for those who had reached the second tier or above, there was only one person, the President of Rose Society, Sebastian Flameheart.

And now, Sebastian Flameheart was not even in the manor, so the leaderless Rose Society was no match for the Judgment Knights.

The battle quickly came to a close.

No.

It was more like a one-sided crushing from the beginning.

The Rose Society was ultimately an underground gang, and a relatively new one at that, founded less than ten years ago.

Without their powerful leader, such a force was no match for the fully armed Judgment Knights.

One after another, the Rose Society's extraordinaires were captured and bound by the Judgment Knights, then escorted to the empty ground in front of the manor.

Roughly speaking, there were probably no less than two hundred people, with half of them being extraordinary.

They were men and women of various ages and even different races. The vast majority were humans, but there were also many demi-humans, underground dwarves, and even half-elves.

The Judgment Knights had already entered the interior of the estate's buildings and began the final search.

Soon, two Judgment Knights hurried out of the estate, pressing a demi-human maid between them.

They came before several Second-tier Judgment Knights, pushed the maid to the ground, and then knelt in front of their superior, respectfully saying.

"Lord Rajiv, we have captured the steward maid of Sebastian Flameheart, the President of Rose Society."

"She destroyed Rose Society's documents, and we failed to catch up in time. The roster of Rose Society members has been burned by her."

"She tried to commit suicide, but we stopped her. However... we failed not stop her from biting off her tongue."

"In addition... through questioning some peripheral members of the Rose Society, we learned that when we set out, Rose Society had already received the news and started evacuating personnel."

"Many people, especially the peripheral members... may have already fled."

Saying this, the two Judgment Knights lowered their heads in shame.

Upon hearing the Judgment Knights' words, Rajiv, the leading knight, was indifferent. He said lightly.

"It doesn't matter. I already have the list of Rose Society members here."

"This is not a secret either, anyone with determination can find it."

"The city gates have been closed, and I have ordered the Judgment forces to track down these underground vermin."

"Their people... including those peripheral members, won't get away!"

As he spoke, he took out a scroll from his chest.

If Charlotte were here, she would recognize that the scroll contained the report information shown to her by the High Priest!

Moreover, this scroll contained even more comprehensive information than the one copied by the High Priest, including the list of Rose Society members. And above the list, names such as Frank, Mina, and others were prominently listed!

Upon hearing Rajiv's words, the expression of the judgment knights was somewhat hesitant.

"Lord Rajiv... Sending the Judgment forces to track them down, will it not have a negative impact on the city? They won't be cooperative, this is Borde City, even in the outer city district..."

"In Borde, what else is there that has a more detrimental impact than Rose Society, this kind of filthy and evil organization?"

Rajiv shook his head slightly.

"Those who are sensible will stay indoors at this time. As for those who dare to shelter Rose Society at this time... they should know their fate."

"Don't worry, most of the peripheral members are not extraordinary, and they have no value in joining the Judgment forces. If they die, they die. This is also the price they pay for joining Rose Society!"

The Second-tier Judgment Knight said coldly.
