You could say the same thing about Mesh and Heen, too stupid to sell their souls to the daimons. It's what Sint thinks after every invasion.
Also, Riombara passive? More monsters died at Riombaran hands than at the hands of Enweilian armies marching together with daimons, on the battlefield plus with the power of the Light. Their assault after the construction of the Temple of the Light cost them almost 100k CS, before that we held Grehk against an overwhelming monster force. Alone.
But what did you expect, that we'd leave our city state to defend you and risk losing our armies to your daimon allies in the process?
We may not have allied with any of the invaders, but we're not THAT stupid either.
I would not count the kills of the Light as Riombaran kills at all. Because the Light considered the realm sitting on its ass to be more "pure" than the realm fighting tooth and nail the monsters.
Our alliance with the daimons was just to fight the Monsters. Rio could easily have done the same, if it wanted. That's what Enweil's allies did, to make sure they could join in the fight fully against the monsters.
Mesh and Heen isn't the same story as Hetland at all. They pissed off the daimons too much prior to the invasion for anything they did during the invasion to change that. They fought knowing they would die, but believing in their cause. Hetland fought thinking the Light made them invulnerable. Time has shown that they did not know honour, they were just fighting out of pride and for the misguided belief that they would gain from it. A sacrifice is only honourable when its planned. If you are convinced you are survive and end up dying, then there's little honour in that, as it was never your intention to risk your life for others.
What did Enweil want of Rio? That you at least attack Meridian Republic, if nothing else. They were feeding and sustaining the monster armies, and you complacently sat next to them as they fueled the war against Enweil and Avalon.
Riombara also accepted peace with the monsters before accepting peace with Enweil. Enweil offered military aid in the South when the monsters attacked, but it was rejected with insults.
