"Sir!" The Divine Harpoon contacted his superior. "The Ixith Goliath has exceeded our expectations multiple times. Its apparent threat level matches our most pessimistic scenarios. Do you wish for us to commit or would you like to initiate a tactical withdrawal?"
It was fair for the strategos of the Faceless Giants to ask this question.
The strength and capability demonstrated by the Ixith Goliath already made it as dangerous as a senior ace mech and a particularly developed one at that.
While it was not impossible for the Ascended Giants to inflict a lot of harm against this alien champion, they would have to withstand elevated risks if they wanted to participate seriously in this historic encounter.
The Dark Apostle genuinely found it difficult to decide whether it was a good idea to throw his men against this exceptionally powerful Goliath.
The strength disparity was too big and obvious!
