The Grey Wardens thought it was a coming of another blight, even if it was true, then why the Grey Wardens must scared? Is it their job to face a blight?
It even made them turned into working with Tevinter and using Blood magic, which is IMO make no sense at all...

A Calling doesn't signal the beginning of a Blight. It signals the time when the Darkspawn taint within them will soon drive them mad and claim them entirely.
They heard the "Calling". That is what happens when a Warden is nearing their end. Meaning the corruption of the taint, is entering its final stages. This is not related to whether a blight is eminent or not.
BTW, not making any judgements with my above statement, just pointing out the meaning behind the calling.

Aaaaand, super-ninja'ed!

I use Fade step alot.
The whole point of drinking darkspawn blood during the Joining to become a Warden, is that you'll be able to slay the Archdemon during a Blight. Otherwise the Archdemon will be resurrected by possessing the nearest Darkspawn, if the Archdemon is slain by a Warden, the Warden gets possessed instead, and they both die.
Which means the Wardens are stuck with the taint, until it starts corrupting them from the inside, that's when the Calling comes into play, a Warden that hears the Calling, must then go to the Deep Roads and kill as many Darkspawn as he can, until he is killed by them.
If the Warden doesn't do anything at all, he'll succumb to the taint and become a Ghoul.
When all the Wardens started hearing Corypheus' bluff Calling, they became terrified, they thought that they will all die from the taint leaving Thedas defenseless against the Sixth and Seventh Blight, and sought to kill Razikale and Lusacan with a demon army, before the Darkspawn would turn them into Archdemons.
Of course, the purpose of that bluff was to get the Wardens raise an army of demons for Corypheus.

Yep, and if that happens to all of them, who's left to stop the next Blight?

The Champion, that's who.

As others have said, the Calling isn't the signalling of an approaching Blight but that the Warden's are reaching the end of their lives.
As for using blood magic, Wardens use anything they can to defeat the Darkspawn. In fact without blood magic, there wouldn't even be Wardens.
As for working with Tevinter, why wouldn't they? The Darkspawn are the enemy of everyone, including the Tevinter Imperium. Tevinter was the first surface nation ever attacked by Darkspawn and suffered the most from the two century long First Blight. Tevinter mages helped create the Joining ritual that made the Grey Wardens. So it makes perfect sense for the Grey Wardens to accept help when it is offered, especially when they are desperate.
The Champion, that's who.

The Champion can do anything! If s/he'd only been at the Conclave... *beats up Varric*
Well, I don't think anyone, even a Warden, want to die. So if I hears the Darkspawn taint speaking/calling to me, and I'm taught that signals my pending death...well, I think I'd be worried. I got so many more years to go...get married, have kids, survive another Blight, etc etc.
So yeah, if someone tell me they can offer me protection...I'd take it. More or less outta desperation.

"It's good to be champion."
We don't really have any evidence to say it is fake. All we know is it's artificial

It's repeatedly called a "false calling".
That means it's fake.
No. It means that it is manufactured. Artificial colour or flavour is still colour and flavour.
That means it's fake.
No it doesn't.
Or at least, to avoid getting into a semantic argument, it doesn't mean that it wouldn't ultimately have turned the Wardens into ghouls.

By people who have no apparent way of knowing, as far as I recall. Unless I've missed stuff coming from Corypheus' followers.

Nope. If it taste like banana but it's done with artificial flavors it does not mean your eating a banana or something with banana in it.
The call used is not real. It's an imitation but it's not real. No one is Turing into a ghoul yet and it can only be so if ghoulification happens.
No it doesn't.

Yes it does. Unless the wardens suddenly start turning to ghouls then the call was a fake. And if you read The calling you can see it can happen pretty quickly.(Ironically the architect can make it go even faster then the normal speed.)
WoW... thanks for complete explanation... I didnt know that Grey Wardens can turn into a ghoul. When a person passed the joining and thus became a Warden, I thought he/she became immune of the darkspawn's poison blood. Guess not.
It will be more reasonable, instead ask for helped from Tevinter, why not Legion of the Dead? why not use the Treaty? what the 1st warden say about this? and King Alistair will help too... it just weird, trusted their lives, sacrificed everything, using demons and blood magic without certainty and without asking help from their closest friends. It just feels, like you have an accident but instead asking help from your friend/family, you ask help from your enemies.

Warden-Commander Clarel and the other Warden mages insisted that only magic could solve the problem. They weren't thinking clearly.

Like Warden Loghain/Stroud/Alistair?
