Maybe Askin was being sarcastic? He addressed Haschwalth to say that fighting would only be "poison" to him and I believe he meant that Haschwalth had already lost his position as second-in-command to Uryu and fighting now would only undermine his position further as well as his chances of one day becoming Emperor (hence Askin's comment)
