They can be considered the only truly "good" army in the franchise as they are responsible for keeping humanity safe from all harm and maintaining the celestial balance. It is normally rated as the fifth army in the series, with the others being the [[Underworld Army]], [[Forces of Nature]], [[Aurum Fleet]] and the [[Human Army]]. Palutena rightfully owns this army, with the main character, Pit, being its captain. The Centurions, while not appearing in every chapter in ''[[Kid Icarus: Uprising]]'', can be found in almost every level in the original games. | ||

They have excellent range and their continuous firepower makes up for their weak attacks. They are also able to throw explosive stones and require no controller and work by themselves. These troops can move horizontally while firing. They were created as a means of defense after the [[Hewdraw]] attack in [[Chapter 3]]. | ||

In Chapter 17 | Centurions once again appear with the role of assisting Pit as in past games. However their assistance must be found as is gained through an item called [[Centurion Assist]]. In Chapter 17: ''[[The Aurum Brain]]'', Palutena calls the army to aid Pit by carrying him on a platform into the [[Aurum Brain Fortress]]. Between Chapter 18: ''[[The Ring of Chaos]]'', and Chapter 20: ''[[Palutena's Temple (chapter)|Palutena'a Temple]]'', the army becomes one of the main antagonists after Palutena's soul is controlled by the [[Chaos Kin]]. The latter turns Pit into a [[Ring of Chaos|ring]] where Pit wakes up three years later, unable to remember what had happened to him. [[Pit's Body|His body]] however, remains loyal to the possessed Palutena and has been attacking the humans over the time gap. In Chapter 18, [[Magnus]], under Pit's control, must defeat Pit's Body and return the angel's soul to his rightful body. Later in Chapter 20, Pit must go against Palutena and must be careful to hit the Chaos Kin and not the goddess herself. | ||
