Iofrantidis, the former speaker, caught his eye on them; Ironically such a fire From The fire that was lit in the meantime and the sacrifices were made , It became apparent that it was rarely seen like that, and at that moment a man sneezed from his right hand, which was a sign that a happy incident would happen soon. …

These should be sacrificed and all three should be sacrificed to the vampire Bacchus with a prayer of peace.If such a thing is done, not only the Greeks will be freed, but they will also conquer the enemy

So, the Iranian captives were driven to the altar and sacrificed alive in the fire as per the prophet's order
