I watched Blood of Zeus and liked the idea of Zeus convincing two of the giants to turn against their side

I was thinking of writing something like that where an elven and human alliance are fighting against a monstrous race few in number, but individually wielding immense power. The idea is that the leader of the monstrous race kind of browbeats and pushes around two (a husband and wife duo) of his tribe, and the human and elven mages have scryers that see this.

The essence is they convince those two to turn on their tribe in return for ceding lands for them to live in, but I was wondering if there was any way to write the elves and humans not simply reneging and attacking them after the other monsters of their tribe are dead.

I was considering making the race able to absorb the power from their own dead by eating their corpses or taking in their life force as they die, so as the two betrayers kill their tribemates and take their power, meaning their own position isn't weakened by their betrayal.

Not sure if that would be interesting.
