The Dresden Files > DF Spoilers
Something Occured to Me as to Why the Senior Council is so Afraid of Harry
Mira:
--- Quote ---Neither did the pixies. They showed up to protect pizza. Toot seemed a little nonplussed about Harry being in danger. The Kenku were just as loyal to Eb as the fairies are to Harry. It's all about debt and obligation. As soon as Harry owes them more than they owe him, the loyalty will be gone.

It is more than just the pizza, Toot made that clear, when Harry freed his brothers and sisters from the White Court captivity, he gained their loyalty for all time. Not sure what will happen though if he does marry Lara, there might not be enough pizza to make up for that.
--- Quote ---They showed up by the hundreds. Don't call it an army if you like, but many wouldn't call a bunch of pixies an army either.

Nope, there were twelve of them, the Grey Council, yeah maybe as powerful as hundreds, but still only twelve.

And Harry *has* used them as assassins -- while the Senior Council was watching and judging his actions -- way back in Summer Knight. Harry used maybe a few dozen little folk to kill a demigod-level fairy queen. And now he's got hundreds of thousands of them swarming and neutralizing a powerful fomor weapon.
Yep. Genuinely terrifying.
@Mira -- the "army" was the Kenku.

It makes no difference how many armies he had or didn't have. Someone has been using the WC to try and kill him since Storm Front. They try in Summer Knight. In Dead Beat Luccio uses this threat to coerce his acceptance of the Cloak. Proven Guilty is all about using the WC to kill him. Rashid spells it out in Turn Coat. And Jim has pushed the idea, hard. Assuming I actually live long enough to see the reveal it wouldn't surprise me if Cowl was the Merlin.
K.L.O.E.:

We also see Molly refer to them as Dresden's "Royal Guard" in the new microfiction. Add in how Toot-Toot grows every time he answers Harry's call and we can be pretty certain that a large number of the Little People are now Harry's vassals. This does raise the question if Harry can ascend to being the God of Pizza and be made a God that way? (If we consider the Erlking the current God of the Hunting Fae, I'm assuming there was a Herne or something before him).

I think another big difference is what the armies are capable of.

Emphasis added. Where are you getting that?
