The orders he gives to his friends are another good example of what a good leader Laios is. He thinks things calmly through; he knows his peoples strengths. And he's even capable of giving the order to kill him. And mean it.
I love how the demon is portrayed and how Laios instantly lost here - I mean, who could even resist the temptations to their desire? Unlike other cheap isekais and fantasies out there, this is truly how scary a demon is.
