The Demon Lord launching a war against the Human Realm also had his reasons. First, having been dormant for so many years, he needed a victorious campaign to elevate his prestige. Second, he intended to devour the demonic dragon. Since there were quite a few human spies within the Demon Palace, he needed to divert the attention of the Human Realm and the other realms.
After receiving the Demon Lord's orders, Lord Fubai traveled through the night to the Demon City. He had a night-long conversation with the Demon Lord in the Demon Palace, and upon leaving, he took a man in a black robe with him. Aside from the Demon Lord and Lord Fubai, no one knew the man's identity.
