Edilio's army was a group of kids trained to handle guns by Edilio. They guarded the Power Plant and other important locations, as well as participating in battles.
Background[]
Starting in Gone, the good side of the FAYZ started building up an army. The army is made up of a few kids with guns, put through about a day of training. It is run by Edilio and serves the Town Council.
By Lies, the army lives in a seven bedroom house, with Edilio sleeping in one and two soldiers sleeping in each of the others. This shows that there are now twelve kids in the army, although many soldiers constantly leave and join. Edilio gives them extra training, but most kids are still cowards in it for the pay.
Over the course of the books, the army was used in various scenarios to help keep order amongst Perdido Beach and also to guard important locations, including the nuclear power plant.
