While Maou has her reason to do what she does, but she actually unite with her race's enemy to hit her own kind for her personal gain (I think it touch on briefly that the demon world is not an absolute monarchy, and she has no direct control over other powerful demon lords. If the war against human ended the demon lord will fight against each other, so maybe they will fight her tribe too, and her tribe is not known for battle prowness). In history we have Brutus, Benedict Arnold and Wang JingWei, all are considered classic traitors despite all of them have their own reasons. What makes Maou different?

What makes her different? How about the fact that the "courageous" general took over that city in direct defiance of her orders? Or the fact that he was trying to provoke the humans through constant raids?

The reason Hero is running around in the Demon World is to prevent any of the other tribes from doing the same thing and causing an enormous bloody war that would last years.
