That's bullshit. A man with 10 wives throwing his life away for a woman he hadn't even had sex with yet? With no possible chance of carrying his child? rather than staying alive to continue bringing glory to his household and ensure the future of his bloodline?
What simp rubbish. Why even introduce the character if you're going to kill him off in such a nonsensical way.
it wouldn't be the first time they did that. But I also wouldnt' be surprised if he let the dude live. He looked pretty bad, but if he manages(obv he will) to capture the female general, its possible she'll convince him to save that dude, then join the army. He'd have to give up his wives, but at least the female general will save the male one, and maybe even get together.
Or the male general could just die on the spot, Aegir defeats Hyutia, and forces her to become another member of the harem. But that was already done with Iris. I think the former(bringing Hatten and Hyutia into the army) would be more interesting than retreading the same ground, but I'm not a writer, so what do i know =0v?
