I don't think Ajeel is top tier in the Spriggans either. He's cocky, but I'm guessing he's one of the lower level Spriggans.

Fairy Tail is definitely not facing Alvarez alone. We're definitely going to see some interference from the rest of Fiore's guilds and certainly the Gods of Ishgar (why introduce them otherwise?)
