Wye means "warrior" not "war". "War" could be crig or something.

I was using wye as an adaptation of the OE word wīġ. This means that in modern english it would also have evolved into wye. OE wīga is formed from wīġ + a (which would be the equivalent of -er). So a warrior in this case would be a wyer. The modern English use of wye only became such as the word for war was replaced by Old French descended "war", had this not happened, it is likely that wīġ would have evolved into wye and wīga into wyer. This is the same argument that is used in using "deer" for animal, as its meaning would also not have changed if not for "animal" taking its place.

withdealed or withdealt?[]

Dealed is nonstandard, while dealt is the proper form. Since the line is not meant to be fully correct, should dealed be retained to evoke the context or replaced anyway?

Well the context is that the officer is responding to Han, and so should probably be corrected to withdealt.
