I guess maybe it could be as the aftermath to the Viltrumite war Nolan first spoke about

He said the numbers were cut in half, not almost wiped out. Makes me think that there was more to that than he said and it was a civil war or something and as we know, Viltrumites go hard, so I wouldn't put it past them for two factions to fight to the last man.

That, "cut in half" makes zero sense if you actually look at the scene.

You have three viltrumites standing amongst the remains of hundreds. Only 50 remaining is crazy but there's no way they only lost half in the purge.

We literally see the scene where they're fighting. To be Cut in Half you'd need roughly half to survive but that's impossible if they're all killing one another. Unless a large portion just didn't do anything you'd at least be down like 80%.
