The second wave confirmed Leon's doubt that everything happened too easy for them.
They were unable to apprehend any key person that could be detrimental to obtain information about the upper echelons of the Spectre. Even the aptitudes of the raided men were surprisingly so low that it didn't even pose a threat to the local knights.
Leon had a nagging feeling that the matter of the operations clearly alerted the Spectre and managed to prepare themselves to save their key men and safeguard important assets to their sinister organization.
Immediately elevating this concern to General Farauld and his Father Emperor, the team was forced to become more vigilant and stringent in sweeping the territories.
Thus, the interval between the second and third wave became significantly longer. The team became more desperate in searching for any key men who were left roaming around the territories, but to no avail.
