The King of Thrace has hired Hercules and his mercenaries to train his men to become the greatest army of all time. Hercules does not question King Cotys' motives until he takes his army out to battle and sees them practice on the innocent men, women and children of their neighbors. Deep in his soul something stirs, but is it enough to stop a mad king and his army of the damned from marching across Greece or even Olympus itself?
