Wasn't Carteneau the entire Eorzean Alliance (sans Ishgard?) verses one Imperial legion? And doesn't Garlemald have at least 12 legions? I'm not saying we wouldn't win if it came down to it (we are the heroes of the story after all, the plot armor is about as thick as it gets) but it makes perfect sense that the Alliance isn't keen on picking a fight with them. If the Empire did decide to commit their entire force to a full-scale invasion of Eorza, we would be severely out-manned, not to mention, likely out-gunned due to their advanced Magitek.
