Wrathion nods once, accepting. Slick, after all, told him about this. About how they were used for war. This is a vivid demonstration of what that looked like.

"They considered you disposable," he says. Whoever sent a whole army of people here on their first deployment either didn't put enough care into training them, or was playing a game of numbers instead of careful strategy -- and he's welling to bet it's the latter. Flood the field with enough troops and even if they aren't trained well enough, the sheer weight of numbers may get you a victory.

On a smaller note, white shiny armour seemed like a strange choice. They all stand out in the desert, and he'd have thought it would be hot too? Perhaps the material is lighter and cooler than it looks, however.
