For the love of Akhaseam, he just made Brandish want to kill August. He manipulated an ally for a surprise attack. Not to mention August is goddamn old and the negotiation was not going to work. I mean really, he's diehard to Zeref and General of the Spriggan 12.

And that tactic was at least better then half the characters in this entire arc. You literally had Erza say fight an army head is the worst and only tatic to go on one of these chapters. And Mavis forget Dragon Slayers having motion sicknesses.

It might have failed, but had this been any other manga he probably would of gotten away with it.
