At Camp Jupiter's War Games, Larry helps defend the fort along with the First Cohort. Despite their attempt, the Fifth Cohort emerged victorious.

A few days later, Larry and his cohort storm a ship in preparation for the oncoming invasion. He greatly enjoys the task.
During the battle, his cohort warred against the cynocephali. They were promptly aided by Apollo and Meg McCaffrey. He sends two of his troops, Carl and Reza, to escort them to Frank Zhang.
