Aloy continued to gun down the undead in small, controlled bursts as one might expect from a soldier. She was fuming at the loss of her commandos to be sure, but she was still a veteran of many battles that refined what was once a reckless bounty hunter and forged her into the veteran she was today.
Still, she took a certain pleasure in every kill today.
Where Monroe cast death upon the enemy on one side, Aloy swung the rotary cannon to the other, the two women affectively creating a zone of fire that stalled the horde's frontal assault such that the death toll would have shattered the morale of any living army.
But they were not a living army. And so they kept coming.
They kept piling against the living fence of wriggling brush and twisting vines commanded by the young force sensitives traveling with Monroe, but still they pushed down, climbing over the bodies even. They couldn't last forever...

When Liorra alluded to some pathway a few klicks from them, Aloy tried to picture the time and distance it would take. A couple thousand meters was a lot of ground to cover while under attack but thankfully these beasts were not shooting back, even if that only slightly reduced the risk imposed by such a maneuver.
But she had an idea...
"We can take the gun!" She called out between bursts of cannon fire.
"The pilot had a crushgaunt, it's still attached to the flight stick! I can take it and rip the cannon out."
And with the added strength of her cybernetic arm, she would be able to operate it on the move.
"We could perform a bounding maneuver then, until we get wherever you're going."
