Heck, how did Tom decide which realm would bite the dust in the last BT invasion? "Last ruler to reply will see his realm's ass kicked", pretty much... Doesn't get any harsher than that.
Please don't mix up facts and fiction. That whole storyline was a ruse the whole time, an experiment in checking if the Daimon lords can make the rulers do their bidding or if the humans would band together, talk among each other first and come up with a trick of their own, such as "ok, let's ALL not reply at all".
