Abandoned.

did they kill torchwood and 3 ways cubs ? why they abandoned the pride ? how many prides they have ?

This is not unusual.  When there are no available mating females, for example, sometimes the coalition gets an itch to explore and find other prides with available mating females.  The Nhzengha Males left the Styx before the youngest cubs were even a year, so I imagine there might be some younger cubs that got the unlucky end of the deal, being born later in their fathers' reign.  I'm not sure what happened to the offspring of the pride.  Some lionesses might have run off with the older ones....  I think they also have/had the Kumana and Mazithi Prides.  They definitely have some sub-adult offspring.  I think they were getting too ambitious in expanding, and so decided to leave the Leeupan Pride.  It was very far from the other prides they took over.  

In one video footage of the Leeupan Pride, they had little cubs back in 4/2021, so I imagine those same cubs, if they are alive now, would be nearly 3 years old.  

I think it's good for them to move on.  After all, their daughters would be coming of age in the next year or so from their oldest litters. Reply
