Odysseus saw this message and sneered derisively. He tossed it aside and ordered coldly for double the number of troops as before to be sent, and then a contingent of TRIPLE the amount right after in order to catch this strange machine spirit off guard.
His decision was well praised by the other Demigod of Elysium who were simply waiting for their turn to be deployed. They did not take Theseus's warnings and admonishments to heart.
After all, Theseus' team had been small and not tightly knit. Pyrrha was a poor combatant and Medea was some weakling no one regarded. Theseus himself was seen as more of a thinker than a fighter.
It was only the loss of Achilles and Hercules that made many solemn, and was why they hadn't rushed forward to fight anyway. If even such geniuses of combat could be beaten, then they would not even be the phlegm in the throats of their foes.
