legion
Vast assembled host
A legion was originally a large unit of the Roman army, numbering several thousand soldiers.
The word now means any large group or multitude: legions of fans, their problems are legion.
When something is legion, it exists in great numbers: The difficulties facing the project are legion.
The word carries a sense of overwhelming quantity or force. (Capitalized Legion often refers to veterans' organizations like the American Legion or French Foreign Legion.)
