Having finalized her retreat, Selthia commanded her entire surviving swarm to expand and multiply.
Her four hundred Platinums and her eight remaining Diamonds scattered across the vast uncharted territories, putting as many miles between their packs as possible.
They dispersed like a viral infection, rendering them virtually impossible to track or corner in large numbers. A concentrated, marching army was a glaring target for Ren's massive attacks and Liora's spiritual fire; a decentralized plague spread across hundreds of miles of deep wilderness was an infestation that not even the combined might of humanity could eradicate.
As long as her beasts remained separated, the human heavy hitters could not inflict meaningful damage on her overall infrastructure. While the Vanguard chased shadows, her swarm would aggressively reproduce, draining the outer rings and compounding their numbers at a terrifying rate.
