Why did those guys in the red robes hang themselves?


It's been ages since I have seen this movie but I remember this part where the King confronts Maax and these two guards or monks throw these chains into the ceiling and jump down. They effectively hung themselves.
Why? Was that supposed to be threatening?

To show their devotion to Maax, to show that Maax's followers were willing to die for him at his command.
