I can see that however, what does Makarov really have to be afraid of when Natsu can one shot literal gods. Plus, telling the FT crew that there was an enemy like "nothing they had seen before" would have most likely made them train even harder. Also, it's not like this empire is just going to not murder/hold whatever guild member they find for ransom although, that could be a plot point so meh. He had an entire year to warn as many people as he could. During that time, he could've warned the top guilds and at least started to form an army. Plus, there are people with telepathy and insanely strong people like the four gods or Jura or Laxus or Gildarts. But, this whole thing could be part of his "overprotective father routine."
