Fuckers believed they could lit a fire in the forest and push the monster onto both the invading army and Myriad nation, tipping the scales. However, a bunch of big bad monsters, or rather the entire monster kingdom, including the boss - iirc a fire lizard with wings - appeared and wiped out everything. Nobody could stop them, thus all of the countries involved in this war persisted, and the MC suffered another major loss after numerous close-call fights. He ended up as a refugee in a faraway country, drowning himself in alcohol for a few years before embarking on his mercenary journey. Life was not easy for him, at all..
