Elite or not, those sternritters are fodder compared to the Royal Guard. Nimaiya proved that. Getting killed after a couple of chapters doesn't sound unreasonable. Sure we want to know more about their powers and see their volstandig, but the only way for them to survive that onslaught is with plot armor (unless Askin has healing powers, that works too).
