The lifeless army is a key part of the plot of war breaker. There are, i think, 50 thousand a soldiers that are held by the god king but controlled by members of the royal court who have returned. And this is the army that is supposed to protect the city in events of anything going bad. That lifeless army is stolen, is corrupted and is going to be misused at the end of war.
