Regarding Howl's death, the remaining two members of the Iron Rock Shield Team reacted noticeably less intensely than when A Gu was bisected.
As for the reasons, on one hand, it was indeed as Xia Nan had guessed, that when the team initially recruited the Half Beastman Warrior, they only intended to use him as expendable material.
Even though years of fighting side by side made the other members recognize the Half Beastman as part of the team, viewing him as a companion.
But when he truly died in battle, it merely fulfilled their expectations when they first recruited him.
Perhaps there was sadness and lament, but it wasn't overly emotional.
On the other hand, it's also because Habi and Seli are barely able to cope.
When their own lives are under severe threat, they naturally don't have the time to care about the life and death of others.
To be honest, under normal circumstances, the roles of these two are actually quite a well-matched combination.
