Seeing this result, Shields flapped her wings of light with satisfaction, as if celebrating the victory of heaven.

Meanwhile, Matheras wagged its tail and swayed its horns, saying unhappily, "My master, this is not fair. Why wasn't even a single soul left behind?"

Todd stared at the trembling crowd below with his dark golden dragon eyes and said in a low voice, "The trial is not over yet."

Shields was stunned. He looked around the area and said in confusion, "I don't see any other souls... The rest of these people are all living beings."

Todd flapped his dragon wings, and the immense wind pressure created a scorching storm that blinded everyone.

He roared, "Behind the deaths of these orcs lies deception and betrayal!"

The image reappeared in the sky, showing a group of orcs gathered in a shaman's tent, awaiting divine revelation.

The orc shaman grabbed a handful of powder and sprinkled it on the stove, creating a blinding flash of light.

The orc commander, kneeling beside him, asked in confusion, "My lord, unauthorized use of force requires the consent of the shamanic assembly."

The orc shaman picked up another handful of powder, sprinkled it on the flames, and remained silent.

The orc commander continued, “Mobilizing the entire orc race to attack the enemy is indeed something we’ve longed for. But before we set out, the great Dragon God personally issued a holy decree, demanding that we obey the orders of the Grand Master of the Twilight Knights. Now, we’re launching an attack without the human’s approval or the consent of the shamanic assembly. Could this be…?”

The orc shaman lowered his head and said to the orc commander, "Guess what I saw?"

"I...I don't understand what you mean..."

"In the flames, I received a revelation from the Dragon God." The orc shaman touched the flames with his palm and said softly, "The god is very dissatisfied with our cowardice. He repeatedly questioned me about why I cowered in the corner and let the enemy laugh at my god's incompetence."

The orc commander's face was flushed, and veins bulged: "Our god is omnipotent! No one can slander him!"

The orc shaman withdrew his hand: "We are conquerors in the eyes of the heretics, the epitome of courage and strength in the Crusades—the orcs! The great dragon god awaits us, awaits our victory!"

Upon hearing this, the orcs in the tent all stood up and shouted slogans of worship for the gods.

The orc shaman dipped his finger in a little ash and smeared it on the orc commander's forehead, saying, "Go, warriors! Wash away our shame with the blood of our enemies, and pay homage to our great dragon god with their cries! Only victory can earn the dragon god's approval, and only victory can bring the orc race the god's favor!"

Todd waved his hand to cut off the image in the sky and roared at the orc shaman kneeling on the ground and trembling in the crowd: "You used the name of the gods to incite your own people to rush into the enemy ranks whose situation is unclear, causing not only heavy casualties but also disrupting the entire war plan!"

The orc shaman, trembling like a leaf, pressed his forehead to the ground, completely oblivious to the flames burning his skin from the cracks in the earth.

He stammered incoherently, "I just wanted... to offer the victory to my god... to receive your praise... I had no idea..."

“Your ignorance has led your people to their deaths!” Todd bowed his head and said to Shields and Mathernas, “Begin his trial!”

Shields hesitated for a moment, then whispered to Todd, "The High, Judgment is only for the dead, but this person is still alive..."

Compared to Shields' hesitation, Matheras had no such reservations. He grabbed the orc shaman, brought him to the scales of fate, and began to weigh the good and evil.

Todd turned the dragon's head toward Shields and slowly said, "The purpose of initiating the trial of the living is to give more lives the right to continue living."

Minutes later, unsurprisingly, the orc shaman was found guilty.

Under the horrified gazes of everyone, the orc shaman had his limbs torn off by Mathernas.

Amidst the blood and limbs, Mathernas grabbed the orc shaman by the hair, dragging his bald torso into the lake of fire as he laughed gleefully, "Finally! Finally, a soul has remained! Don't be afraid, don't panic, we have plenty of time to get to know each other. Trust me, you'll slowly fall in love with everything here! Hahaha!"

In this bloody scene, one of the less courageous knight captains vomited, and others turned pale.

Todd looked at the group and said in a deep voice, "Remember this day! I don't want this to happen again. Everyone else, go back to your posts. Cumberland, you stay here. I have some questions for you."
