Just when Lan Bofei led the second legion of the Divine Envoy King to fight, the protagonist, who did not know the fierce battle, was presiding over an execution in the main nest "Qingqiu City".

The object of the execution was the Great Banyan Tree.

After betraying the protagonist, Da Rong did bring a lot of trouble to the protagonist, and the protagonist's layout on the north bank of the river was all in vain. Therefore, the protagonist hates this betrayer so much that he wants to put him to death.

After offering to exchange the male ant prisoners of war from the main nest for the big banyan, the male ant commanders of the Northern Expeditionary Army weighed the pros and cons and decided that the deal was a good deal—one king could be exchanged for hundreds of kings and kings, many of whom were high-ranking veterans.

Therefore, after a brief discussion, the kings of the Northern Expeditionary Army unanimously approved and directly ordered the Great Banyan to follow the flying knight back to the main nest.

As for the Great Banyan, although he knew that it would be auspicious to return to the protagonist, he was also happy to obey his fate, and he had no way to disobey the orders of the Great King Conference - if it weren't for the foolish loyalty to the Great King Conference, Great Banyan would not have betrayed the protagonist, but he knew the unfathomable strength of the God's King Army.

Banyan was escorted by the Flying Knights to the "Waterfront City", where there was no war at this time. Lan Bofei also knew that the protagonist "valued" Banyan very much, and directly asked a squad of garrisons to escort Banyan to the main nest "Qingqiu City".

Just one day before the Battle for Waterfront City began, Banyan arrived at the main nest.

Outside the entrance of this "Qingqiu City", the big banyan looked up at this magnificent lair that had changed owners, and many memories of the past came to his heart.

He was born as a male ant in Waterfront City, and only three males were born in the entire nest this year. When he became an adult, he went to the main nest with two other males to participate in the wedding ceremony.

In the end, he failed in the wedding ceremony, failed to mate, and failed to leave his offspring.

But he was also lucky, the other male ant in the same nest died directly in the cruel wedding ceremony, at least he was still alive.

But he was unlucky, the other male ant in the same nest not only successfully mated, but also obtained the qualification to stay in the main nest, and after a little bit of accumulation of seniority and merit, and finally became the king. He is the king of the West, a male ant who once befriended the protagonist.

Although the big banyan failed in the mating, he was also able to stay in the main nest and start as an ordinary king. A few years later, due to the death of the original male ant of "Waterfront Castle", he was ordered to return to "Waterfront Castle", which was recovered by the protagonist and others, and served as the local ruler.

He thought that his end would be to die in a glorious and heroic winter defense battle at the hands of his old enemy, the Paving Ant Barbarian Army. But he didn't expect that in the end, he would end up as the opposite of the reconquisor of the "Waterfront City" that he once ruled, and his one-time boss, the Divine Messenger King.

Now, the Divine Messenger King is in this nest**, and he will face him again.

Once, Da Rong always regarded his fellow Western king as a target, and he also wanted to become a king. But the loser in the wedding ceremony is rarely able to become a king, and this brand of failure will accompany him for the rest of his life.

But he was not reconciled, so when he learned of the intention of the divine envoy king, he decided to betray and throw himself into the arms of the Northern Expeditionary Army. He felt that his exploits would allow him to rank among the kings in the future.

But now, he was given as a bargaining chip to the Divine Envoy King, who hated him to the bone.

He had been aggrieved and unwilling, but he understood that even if he was a member of the King's Council, he would agree with this plan to maximize benefits. So he doesn't regret it.

So, even when the protagonist sees him and asks him why he betrayed, Banyan still curses the Divine Envoy with the most vicious curse he can find:

He cursed the wicked, unorthodox god king to be burned to death by holy fire.

The protagonist is so furious that he orders Banyan to be burned at the stake, and all the male ants in the main nest "Qingqiu City" are to be executed.

In the history of mankind, the burning of the victim at the stake, although very primitive and barbaric, is very common in both the East and the West. It is said that burning at the stake has a purifying effect, which is why burning at the stake is always associated with the elimination of heresy and evil. For example, Bruno, who insisted on promoting the "heliocentric theory", was burned at the stake, and so-called witches were burned at the stake in various parts of medieval Spain, and so on.

Big-headed ants are just like humans in their belief that fire can purify, so some males who are staunch supporters of the King's Council will say that they will be thrown into the fire when they curse the protagonist.

The same is true of the big banyan.

On the one hand, the protagonist wants to "give back to the other in his own way", and on the other hand, he also wants to prove to his subordinates that he is orthodox under the protection of God, and his opponents should be burned to death by sacred fire, so he plans this burning at the stake.

The scene of the burning at the stake is the combustion chamber at the bottom of the main nest "Qingqiu City", and the fire that is not extinguished all year round is blazing, emitting strong light and heat to the surroundings.

The males who watched the execution stayed in a corner of the combustion chamber with trepidation, a distance that allowed them to see the execution scene without being too hot and dehydrated.

Human burning at the stake is often to keep the prisoner under control and then set fire to the prisoner's side. But the ant's fire is inconvenient to move, so the protagonist has an ingenious wife who creates another way of execution.

The banyan was tied to one end of a long, thin wooden stick with twenty strong soldiers biting at the other end, and a stone standing on the ground as a fulcrum in the middle.

As the protagonist gives the order, the soldiers stretch their long sticks forward, and little by little send the big banyan with the top tied to the fire into the fire.

All the onlookers saw that although the six limbs of the big banyan were tied and could not move, his big jaws opened and closed excitedly, and the tentacles swayed, showing the violent changes in his heart.

The ants couldn't speak, and the onlookers didn't know whether the big banyan was fearing, begging for mercy, cursing, or unyielding, and could only watch his body get closer to the yellow flames.

Before entering the flames, the tip of the thin wooden stick was already blackening and zooming at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the body of the big banyan was curled up and twisted, and the tentacles and six limbs quickly cracked and burned in the heat.

The Great Banyan only struggled slightly and lost his life in the heat, and then the ant silk that tied it to him also burned off, and the Great Banyan's body fell right into the bottom of the fire, and then was quickly devoured and disappeared.

At the end of the execution, the ants leave tremblingly, and the protagonist is very satisfied with the effect of this public punishment of the enemy - sometimes, fear is also a way to control his subordinates.

He immediately sent the messenger to his territory to check on all the males, especially the males who were confined to the original main nest in Dongyang City.

He wants to let all the male ants see the fate of betraying himself and betraying God to Lord Wang, and let his subordinates who still have different hearts weigh it carefully.
