Answer 2

Ivan declines to assist his brothers once more because Simeon used the soldiers to fight battles that resulted in fatalities.

• After finishing with the second brother, the old devil went to Ivan the Fool. Similar to Simeon, he disguised himself this time as a general and approached Ivan, telling him to gather an army.
• The Old Devil dispatches a small devil to each brother to cause trouble since he is very angry that there is no fighting between the brothers because of Ivan's charity. Simeon's devil gives him too much courage, which causes a catastrophe on the battlefield. Simeon is due to be executed for his failure, but he manages to get free and go back to his home. Tarras's assigned devil stokes his greed, causing him to squander all of his money and take out additional loans to make purchases. He is unable to repay the loans, so he too leaves his home. Ivan receives no respect from either of the brothers.
• Ivan declines to assist his brothers once more because Simeon used the soldiers to fight battles that resulted in fatalities. Ivan declined when Simon asked for more soldiers from him because he believed that soldiers were not designed for fighting but rather for music, entertainment, and celebrations.

Hence, Ivan declines to assist his brothers once more because Simeon used the soldiers to fight battles that resulted in fatalities.
