Fun fact: Atou giving the invaders the chance or a warning not to attack them or go way is reminiscent of the Mesoamericans or Native American warriors who honorably always give the colonizers a warning sign before they attack.

It is quite refreshing to see a CHRISTIAN coded holy knight and his comrades + mercenaries getting killed for following blindly an ideology instead of using logic/rationality. Atou is a real badass savage.
Lornias is a flesh out pathetic character who deserves to die since he wants to commit genocide in the name of his church religion. It doesn't matter that he has family who loves him because there is no excuse for executing marginalized groups no matter what.
Sir Vendel was probably a very reasonable decent human being. Too bad he had to die due too Lornias's fanatic beliefs.
