Most probably a reference to the term "A Casualty of War", which is defined by "any person who is lost to a military unit by having died of wounds or disease, having received wounds, or having been injured but not mortally."

Parker's “法庭斗剑三部曲”. It's story follows two brothers, Badas and Gogos Lorenden. Badas seeks refuge within the empire to escape his brother while Gorgos invades his hometown, offering his country to the empire for a chance to be close to his brother.
