Lothur quickly ordered the Koch patriarch to direct House Ritter's wing to spy on communications in Leopoldine and other states in the southern region of Concordia, looking for recent cases of cities being ravaged by demons.
Like a subordinate who knows the importance of following his leader's orders, the Koch patriarch wrote down everything he had to do and saw what Lothur was getting at.
Lothur's mission was similar to that of most demons at this early stage of the war. He wanted to go after weaker opponents so as not to draw the attention of stronger ones, devour his targets, and then grow stronger.
The demons were doing this to throw the continent into chaos and create opportunities for the stronger ones. At the same time, Lothur simply wanted to raise his level quickly. That was the major difference between the similar actions of each party.
