Well, the Kitori are ruled IMHO by a troll queen and a human king, ritually married (but seldom fertile) and what they do outside the yearly unity rites is their own. The above fragment is just a way to say that the cowardly human kitori used their troll allies to attack the Kurtali.
Also, the male trolls who manage to be chosen as Queen lover's will be the toughest of the gang, and at the same time expendable.
Now, the sexual advantages and problems among trolls and humans, I will leave for the sick imagination of other listers.
