No one expected the Church of the God of War's Holy Army to move so quickly. The reason these seven people at the pinnacle of the Kingdom of Dawn schemed against each other was that each person had huge confidence in the Kingdom of Dawn. They felt that even if they profited from it, the Kingdom of Dawn couldn't possibly have any problems, so naturally they should try to gain as much benefit for their families as possible.
But with the changes in the south, as the Church of the God of War became increasingly aggressive, only then did they realize that if they didn't resolve this quickly, major problems would definitely occur.
In this era, nobles almost never discussed war with anyone outside the nobility. Wars between nobles were often like games—sending war declarations, meeting in fixed areas. If possible, determining victory or defeat through "knight games" between a few generals. If the conflict was more intense, then they'd fight one battle!
