What’s a little human sacrifice and executing the slowest member of each tribe for ‘disloyalty’ between friends?

Is this stupidity-slow or velocity-slow? Whatever it is, does this act have a name or term?

Velocity-slow. The stragglers from each tribe called to war were tortured or executed. I don't think there's a specific term for it, though I vaguely remember a few similar events in history.
