With most wizards being able to take on more than just ten regular people, I don't think the non-mages have much of a chance even though they make up 90 % of the population.

Just look at the recue team in the GMG arc. They held of an entire palace worth of trained and well equiped soldiers with just four mages until the soldiers got help from their own mages.
