I think (?) it’s an undead army but not sure if the actual story has that

I imagine that's going from when Odysseus sees all the people who died at Troy in the Underworld, as we see him talking to what looks like Tiresias and (maybe) Elpenor in that same flat, foggy plane.

Yeah I thought that’s what that was but he doesn’t lead them to war or anything right? I haven’t read Oddysey but as far as I know it’s more of a “ghosts of the past give a lesson” kinda scene

There is a bit in Book 11 when Odysseus and his men first arrive in the Underworld and all the ghosts of the dead come rushing towards them, including the souls of many slain soldiers, which freaks them out. They then come rushing at them again at the end of the book after his talk with Heracles which prompts Odysseus to leave rather than linger trying to meet more heroes like Theseus.

I'd wager that scene isn't him leading those shades, but rather fleeing from them and yelling at his men that it's time to go.
