Judging from what that gridanian chic said all this would literally be over in less than a week if Garlemad legit just went "ehh... Send two, maybe one and a half."
Garlemald is huge and most legions are actually busy with their own duties stationned in all its regions as far as I know.
But they sure probably can afford to send more than the first time. That's what this specific line seemed to hint at to my eyes.
IIRC there's something to this. I think it was suggested in the MSQ around about the time Yugiri showed up that Garlemald had been pretty over-extended, similar to late Rome, and that they were starting to have difficulty maintaining control within their own borders when the war of succession hit. That's in part why Doma tried to revolt -- it didn't last long, but apparently there was enough of a gap that they made the attempt anyway.
I'm pretty sure Gaius' legion really was all they could spare. (But he was doing his own thing anyway, right?)
