Pretty much what DukeLeto7 said. No IK has been waging any wars against another IK, because they can't (they can ofc, it would be just very stupid). Because the moment anyone attacks someone else, (s)he makes his/her own country vulnerable to a third party. The ONLY reason, why it worked for Arclent was the fact that  a) it's another fucking continent and that would make invading into an "unknown" territory quite risky and b) no one cared enough about Incubus Emperor to make any deal with him, also Esthera threatened to get involved if others would. And even if they see the Doom King (Simon) as a weak coward, he still KILLED an IK on his own... No one would risk facing a united force of Esthera + Doom King with a potential for a third party to backstab you while you fight somewhere else. Not unless a serious alliance of two or more IKs would be formed, which considering it hasn't happened in the centuries up to now, is unlikely to happen anytime soon (there would need to be a serious reason for this, so far no such a thing to be seen).
