Induced drama and dumb decisions make a good part of the stories in this kind of manwhas, which we should be used to by now. I mean, it's not like the plot in this particular story has been making sense for a while...

It's one of the central themes: Greed for power leads to suffering. Mormodes human trafficked a child soldier and traumatized her; it led to her meltdown on the battlefield. Aubrecht's family dies in the battle; he blames the traumatized child soldier for his family dying, so he seeks power to recreate the state of war/get revenge. Cue more suffering and probably the empire's demise.

Aubrecht believes in the power of "valorous knightly murder." He doesn't realize his suffering began when Mormodes plotted war in the first place. We know his plan is dumb. That's irony.
