Cronus' undead swarmed both Rika and the Miko, giving the other scouts a respite. In combat the corpses were pitiful in comparison to the scouts, but their sheer numbers made up for that, the constant rain of attack from every direction keeping the draconians constantly on their toes. Even as they were beaten down and torn apart, they still rose again to continue; half complete bodies, rag-tangle collections of bones as festering piles of flesh, all fought inexhaustably.
Through the constant barrage of hits, the swarm revealed that while Rika was skilled in medium range combat, her short range fighting was weaker with her whip arms open to counter-attack as they were recalled. The Miko on the other hand, was not skilled in medium range combat. At close range, she could simply charge her strikes with light to devastating effect, while at long ranger, her shots could keep an opponent at bay. At medium range however, her close attacks could not reach, while her bolts were too slow to be particularly useful.
As her summons fought, Cronus became increasingly fatigued. Even though the bodies did not take much to maintain, the cumulative demands of her army were quickly draining her resources. She would either have to cut them off, or switch to a single, more powerful beast. Which ever it was, it would have to be apparent which would be best soon otherwise she would be forced into the former.
