If there was one undeniable fact, it was that the shadow of the Oscillating Fist loomed tall over the entire leadership challenge.
The RC negotiating team had done an excellent job of shaping the leadership challenge in a way that gave the Dark Apostle an option to take over the Phase Lord Department without needing to confront its true leader.
This was a masterstroke in negotiation. Perhaps the Ascended Giants themselves had not truly recognized the implications of these terms.
Well, Ves thought it was more likely that the Ascended GIants underestimated the challenger.
They initially thought of him as a mech designer who possessed no real fighting skills.
Well, they had certainly been proven wrong this time.
The Oscillating Fist definitely shouldn't have been able to foresee how all three of his strategos eventually rolled over the challenger.
This should have thrown him off-balance, but this also made him even more unpredictable.
How would he react?
