Not to give too much credit to Luke, but he had a better army. Camp Half-Blood had about 50 (40 defended Olympus, and lets say the Ares cabin had 10 people). They also had satyrs and a hellhound. Luke's army had giants, hellhounds, empousi, draceane, and demigods. His demigods were under the control of Kronos and would kill the CHB demigods without a second thought (like what happened to Mr. D's kids). CHB demigods however would hesitate to kill another demigod (Percy didnt kill Ethan, told some on the cruise ship to run if they wanted to live, and I'm sure I there are more instances). Also, even if Silena wasnt his spy, he would of just found someone else. The borders dont keep out half-bloods after all, only monsters
