Perhaps. :-)
But I think even the myrms have probably figured out by now that bargains with Fallen Lords are highly unwise. They don't want to spend 300 more years as something even uglier. Also, Soulblighter probably didn't put as much effort into recruiting the Myrms as into getting the Trow and Fetch, who are considerably more valuable in battle (they are 24 and 6 points each, after all), especially when he was planning all along to raise the Myrkridia, who are functionally just more powerful versions of Myrmidons.
