Things seemed strange. War, while normal on the continent, cannot be said to be without reason, and these were. Countries allied with each other, or at least on good terms, suddenly exploded into battle.
This, although delayed, was noticed by many. Everyone believed it could be one of the Purgatory organization's plans. They may have lost strength with the death of their leaders, but they still existed.
Their threat was not great now, and some even thought they were dead, but the reality was that the people who held true power and leadership on the continent were not so optimistic.
It was true that they knew Purgatory had lost a lot of power, but they were not finished, and a wounded beast is sometimes more dangerous than a ferocious one, so none of the world leaders were careless.
