What is the External conflict in The Last Olympian?

Answer 1

Kronos's army is marching on Olympus, and only the demigods of Camp Half-Blood can stop them. This is a big problem, since there are about 40 demigods at best and at least 10 to 20 times as many soldiers under the control of Kronos. Poseidon and his army are fighting against ocean spirits sided with Kronos who are marching on his underwater palace. The other 11 Olympians are fighting Typhon, father of monsters, who was released from his prison inside Mt. Saint Helens and is making his way slowly across America, demolishing cities and landscapes in his path, and halfway through the story, had already incapacitated Hephaestus and Dionysus. Percy must also find a way to fight Kronos, the lord of time, without him slowing down time long enough to simply kill people while they are moving slowly.

Answer 2

Percy feels burdened by the task of leading the demi gods against the army of Kronos, especially after the Great Prophecy predicted that a cursed blade would reap a hero's soul and that he would see the world in endless sleep

Answer 3

The external conflict would be Percy vs. Kronos because they are the leaders of the two opposing sides of the Titan War.

Answer 4

The conflict is Kronos he is the ruler of the titan and can control time.
