Leonel agreed to Mordred's request, but there were a few things he knew had to be done first.
The first was to contact Camelot. It was impossible to accomplish this without putting up a united front. Camelot and the Demon Empire had to come together.
Of course, Leonel got a lot of pushback about this. But, he had to speak reason to them all.
The Empire would never allow civil war within its borders. One way or another, the two would have to assimilate. The question was whether or not they'd act first and get something out of it or if they'd wait to get conquered and receive nothing in return for their grievances.
When Leonel explained it this way, they managed to calm down somewhat and listen to reason.
It was only at this point that Leonel realized the demons seemed to hate humans as much as humans hated them.
