Some of the soldiers on the monster's flank scattered upon the vicious onslaught, causing it's complete collapse moments later as the men and women tried to either flee in terror or fight their way out of their situation if they were unable to escape in time. Desperate shot after desperate shot were fired into the threat or it's minions, but to no avail as they could not save themselves. The other flanks were now far more hesitant as well as they witnessed the carnage, some giving each other looks of unadulterated fear, although other aliens were far more result than humans in the face of death and kept on fighting as normal, trying to spur on their stalling comrades. The commander in charge could tell that they were on a razors edge. If members of the other flanks turned to run then they'd have no choice but to bring everyone else down with them now matter how brave they were. Fighting with only a handful of soldiers left would be an effort in futility.

"Stand firm, men! The beast is clearly wounded and we outnumber them!" He shouted. "Look at how desperate he strikes at us! Show him what he fears in us! Strike at it's wounds and it's joints! It will fall before us! We shall save the planet here and now!"

The remaining tanks got some more shots off, appearing to have an effect on the beast as it was lurching around. Maybe they did have a chance after all! Running would only cause them to leave themselves open to be slaughtered, but they still had a chance if they tried to bring it down now. They had to try!

The other soldiers steadied themselves, letting out a battle cry before getting back into the fight, shooting their weapons towards the damaged areas from the tanks shells, hoping to increase the damage even further as they dug through what was hopefully tenderized flesh. One more swarm of the evil minions coated one of the tanks in acid, unfortunately bringing that one out of the fight as well. Only one tank remained in working order, as well as the command tank, but it still fought furiously, this time trying to aim directly into the face of the hideous thing as it moved closer. The shot would be almost point blank. If any attack they had would work here, it would be that one. They could only hope it would ring true while the monster was distracted by the pain of the other attacks.
