Nick, that would be the biggest BS scenario I've ever heard if that was true. This is the Alvarez Empire we're talking about! A continental military superpower empire from the Western Continent that possess the power of taking over the entire Ishgar continent in a blink of a flash with so many sophisticated fleets of battleships and armies of formidable and well-trained soldiers with one of them that gives no fucks to Natsu's punches led by the Spriggan fucking 12!

What's the point of sending that so many solders if it's all an illusion. Zeref stated that they're going all-out and so they did with literally everything they've got poured out from the Alvarez Empire?

It's almost like wondering if everything that has happened throughout the entire Game of Thrones Seasons 1-5 is all Bran's long bad, violent and dirty dream from coma after Jaime pushed him off the tower.
