That warrior who had just thrown the torch, did he not know that the tent is empty and doing it is pointless?
He probably knows the tent is empty...but he would probably would not agree with Tuoba He that what he did is meaningless.
Their thought process is probably "I would do any damage to the Brolgadhr tribe to avenge my leader even if I have to give my life away"
It is this kind of loyalty of the tribal communities that Tuoba He had seem to forget
Clan prioritizes the profit and longevity of clan.
This is the teachings of clans in Yan. In tribes however, that warrior he just killed, the leader of this raid probably is the cousin, relatives of these raiding party
He had forgotten that in a tribe, sometimes, everyone is related in some way
And their tribalism is a strong emotion that could not be understood easily unless you are in the culture
It is like a brother being killed, or a father figure. But even more than that, this has to do with face, dignity and honour
