Default Charge of the infuriated virgins

Beware of the wrath of the mighty virgins!!!

I had a spell caster of mine, loaded with slaves (30 or so) attacked in a combat. He found himself killed, to his dismay. And all the sudden, the virgins attacked frantically the enemy, sending it in total rout!

Well I dunno if it is a feature, but thats rather strange. i'm left with virgin-soldiers now, what should I do of them?

I would rises some points of that:

1- perhaps the slaves instanciated into battle units should revert to gem-slaves at the end of a battle, and given to commanders, either at random or the one with the highest blood rating? Its a bit detrimental to have all these slaves converted to units. Also, I dont find the mechanism that elegant. Blood slaves, which are supposed to be a magical resource, can be transformed into a useless combat unit under some circumstance.

2 - Perhaps the slaves of a killed commanders should stay in place, if they are supposed to be mindless girls waiting to be butchered? While would they charge? Or perhaps if they charge it means they have again their freewill? So it would make senses that they flee (they disapears as soon as the mage is killed), or they turn against their former oppressor (let them attack your units!, as independants figures, like lammashtas for example).
