He nodded. "Yes, that is EXACTLY what I am saying. She might have a couple of her own leading, if they have the proper banners. But the only banner I saw clearly at the siege was NOT hers. I<strong>suspect</strong>she is, at most, advising and putting a few of her minions in each horde to get them moving in the right direction, at most.<br/><br/>Most do not have that kind of patience, but most do not make demon lord. And while most demon lords don't have that kind of patience, its the ones that do that you should look out for.<br/><br/>I can think of three things, off the top of my head, as to why.<br/><br/>Number one. She has finagled her way into an advisory position and got the use of her banners as a 'screw you' top the leader, which increases her power, gets her seen by demon lords that haven't heard of her and increases her hiring base. Nocticula is involved by pure chance.<br/><br/>Number two. She is here, having a private dispute with Nocticula, and some outside force is trying to get the mortals to eliminate her.<br/><br/>Number three. The entire thing is misinformation to get everyone wound up over a threat that isn't here. Neither her nor Nocticula are actually involved, but neither are happy their names and pawns are being used, so both are trying to deal with this usurper. The leader has his leader of each horde in the know, but the rest of the leader's 'group' are just regular succubi in costumes."
