The Army of Anubis is an army of jackal-headed warriors featured in the 2002 film The Return of the Mummy. Initially commanded by Anubis himself, the god granted command of his army to Mathayus, the legendary Scorpion King, in exchange for a piece of his soul. Years after Mathayus' death, the Scorpion King and the Army of Anubis were resurrected but swiftly laid to rest by Rick O'Connell and his allies.
After Mathayus was defeated and exiled to the desert of Ahm Shere, he traded his soul to Anubis for his army. With the Army of Anubis at his back and call, Mathayus quickly conquered Egypt. But at the climax of his final victory, Anubis claimed Mathayus' soul and entombed him in a pyramid. With their mission complete, the Army of Anubis returned to the Underworld.
5000 years later, the cultist Baltus Hazef resurrected Mathayus and the Army of Anubis in the hopes of taking the Scorpion King's power for himself, only for his plan to backfire and be killed by the warrior. Mathayus himself was killed by Rick, returning him and the army to the Underworld.

Winner: The Army of Darkness
Expert's Opinion[]
The Army Of Darkness wins because their weapons are tougher and rougher than those of the Army Of Anubis have although the Anubis Army has more powerful physical feature,One main thing is that to kill the Anubis army is very easy,just decapitate it and the Army Of Darkness has the weapon to do that.
