When talking about how many enemies there were someone said “There are fifty-four of them!”, showing the great number. Is there any literary technique used here?

I agree with bluebellbkk. The context would tell us if the sentence was a statement of fact, an exaggeration, an understatement, or the speaker misleading his listener. Is the speaker reliable? Is the listener gullible?

The technique is called "A really good guess". Alternatively, it could be "Watch out. The guy that told you that is really one of the enemy".
