There are more than 1,000 of the Colossi while the main army of giants is about 100,000 in number. This is what the entire plane can put together to fight the demons. They are all of one mind willing to sacrifice themselves to being peace to their plane.
The liberation army came to find an equally imposing army waiting for them. This opposing army is composed of many short reddish-black figures. They are so many of them that it is all the giants can see. There are more than a million of them.
The enemy may be short and translucent with weak smokey forms but there is a lot of them. A million has to count for something. The soldiers gulped at the sight. Their fear and anxiety began to rise even through their grim determination to sacrifice themselves for the good of their plane.
