When they get there they find out that Athena hasn't yet started the attack and no one in Amphipolis is planning to let her win even though they are just farmers. Xena is again told by Ares that his offer still stands and Xena agrees that is he protects them against the Gods and saves her daughter then she will give him her sword "and the body that wealds its".

Ares thinks it a trick and leaves.
