The days went by and they supplied me with an army of twenty five thousand. Thebes had around seventy five thousand but probably around fifty thousand were on the defence. If I went to the underground city, I'd probably get ten thousand weaker soldiers since it wasn't well developed. I'd think about it later or I could ask the oracle. We were on a boat and had a fleet behind us on a voyage to the underground city. I also wanted to meet my brother who was in the "Underworld". I went into my room and took out my phone. There were some videos on the army of Thebes. I also wanted to get Herma's number so that I could ask him stuff since Delaever knew government information.

I sat down and watched the videos. They apparently had the most powerful army in terms of quality but Athens and Ithaca had a slightly bigger army. I would need to train the troops and earn some sort of money to supply the army and train them to be better than Thebes. The only way I could do that was establishing a government but I was enemy of two big countries and ally of only one. I needed to find a good piece of land so that I had something to trade to people. Acceptance by other countries and continental unions would also be a problem because if that didn't work then I'd get no trades. Making a country was harder than I thought.

Time went by and we finally reached the forest before the underground city. The army was separated in five so that it wouldn't startle the people. As I climbed over the roots, I heard some sort of battle cry. I looked to my right and saw a masked man leaping at me with a sword in hand. I leaped back and took out my knife. The soldiers surrounded him and we stabbed him to death. "Is anyone here able to perform an autopsy?" I asked. Someone stepped forward and analysed hum. I stared at him as he opened up the body with his sharp knife. His organs were black and as the doctor stood back up, the body exploded. Out of the trees came out more than a hundred men with masks and spears. "Attack them!" I shouted. We far outgunned them and had better equipment so they were quickly killed with few casualties.

"They're probably a tribe and from the black organs, if all of them are like that, they'll self destruct soon" said the doctor.

"Let's get five hundred people to go search for their village" I said. "Any volunteers?". More than five hundred volunteered so I had to hand pick them. It them came to mind that they were strangely obedient considering all of them were older than me. Well Theseus was also younger than them but it was still weird.

The day went by and we finally reached the pit. I only brought around fifty soldiers since streets wouldn't fit all of us. We walked down the streets which looked slightly better than last time. I ran off towards the castle. I entered and this time, the throne wasn't across me. Like the one in the sea, it looked more like a temple than an actual castle. "Why are you here?" asked Artemis once again on her throne. "I've come to ask you for a small portion of your army" I said bowing down.

"Fine but you'll have to go on a small quest like last time" she said sipping her wine. I looked up and said, "What is it now?".

"Apollo, who you know as Appo went missing when we regained our memories so could you find him for me?" she said. I nodded and left the palace. They'd actually made an exit now so I didn't have to climb up like last time. The rest of the army were waiting outside but for some reason, they had their weapons out. I looked back and saw the Spartan army. I drew my weapon but they dropped theirs. "You seem to be an army, are you interested in trade with Sparta?" asked the tall man in front. "We can't for now, we just made this group so we don't have much to trade" I said.

"Weapons?" he asked.

"Oh yes, we have those" I said. They guided us to Sparta. It had also become way better and they were probably involved with the underground kingdom.
