"Monster? Then why are you all dreaming? Conduct the attack now!" Gerasimov immediately orders.
"We are doing it, Commander, but it is ineffective against it."
Just when Gerasimov gonna say something else, Orgarkov stopped him.
"Calm down, Comrade Gerasimov. If a nuclear explosion can duel with them, I believe a missile could do nothing as well."
Orgarkov then take over the radio and communicates with the pilots.
"I need more details about the monster. What did it look like?"
Through the cockpit window, the pilot's breath hitched as an unimaginable silhouette loomed on the horizon.
"Roger that. The monster stood over 100 meters tall, like a living skyscraper. Its have charcoal-black scales. A massive, barrel-like chest expanded with slow, thunderous breaths, and its limbs were thicker than any tree."
"Behind its back, down its spine, jagged, irregular dorsal plates jutted out like a row of obsidian blades, their sharp edges glistening with a faint, unnatural glow. Fuck, those peaks of the mountain are his back."
"Its tail is impossibly long and muscular. Then came the eyes. It has a colour of burning amber orbs."
The pilot barely had time to register the growing hum in his headset before those jagged spines lit up, cascading from tail to skull in a searing blue-white energy.
"Command, it's ... seems like charging on something."
And then, a strong energy beam was shot out from the monster's mouth, to somewhere where the Red Army was. The energy beam penetrated the peak of a mountain and hit directly a troop of the Red Army.
High temperatures of energy melt everything it touches, and soldiers are eliminated before they get the chance to suffer. The energy beam has been fired by the monster for a few tens of seconds, until the moment the monster finds out that he has destroyed the group of people he wanted to.
"Command, we might lose many of our men. Wait, what is he doing? Shit! We lost all the electronics, return to base!"
By that time, the monster is releasing visible shockwaves one after one. It is not some common shockwave like from the explosion, but with the function of jamming electronics.
"Comrade Marshal, we got the report from the front, one regiment has been wiped out by the monster attack." One of the staff reports.
"Keep the casualties report, I don't need it now. More important now is how to duel with this monster. I believe there is a reason why they only sent this monster at this stage; there must be some limitation on it, and our mission now is to find it."
"Are we still able to contact those troops who have entered it? Are they all sacrificed?"
Orgarkov keeps calm and analyzes what they should do now.
"Yes, we still have some contact with some of it, but not most of it."
"Great, then ask them to find some way to stop it. If something is difficult to break from the outside, then it must be internally vulnerable. Stimulants, we can't fully depend on them. Deploy more troops, there must be a reason why they did not use it initially. Maybe it can't travel for long distances, or whatever it is. Send more army there, if 100,000 troops can't defeat them, then 200,000, 500,000, 1 million! The motherland has enough men to kill it."
"Affirmative, Comrade Marshal. Marshal Oleg Lusik's tank army has already finished boarding in Kiev, they can reach here by tonight. I will order them to manoeuvre here."
However, Orgarkov seemed to think of something and stopped him.
"No, let Oleg's tank army continue to stay. They are not allowed to leave until tomorrow morning, if by that time we are still unable to kill this monster."
Zaitsev is silent for a moment, and knows what Orgarkov thinks of, senior officers can always think of something in common.
"Alright, Comrade Marshal, I will order the other troops to reinforce."
The battle continuos until the night has come. When the monster first stood up, it was at noon, between the times, the Red Army lost another 3 divisions of personnel and equipment, but got another 3 armies of reinforcement, with more than 10 divisions and various brigades.
Unfortunately, the battle on the day does not seem to cause much damage to this monster, except for causing many rocks and trees to drop on the ground.

At the same time, Chernov, who is still inside, wakes up.
"What... What happens?" He opened his eyes with difficulty.
Serina at the side, sees him immediately walk in front of him.
"Colonel, you are awake. Sokolov is commanding and reorganising the other, he asked me to inform him immediately after you wake up. Rest for a moment, Sokolov will tell you what happened." Finished speaking, she ran to look for Sokolov.
Chernov raised his head and felt another pain in his neck, his head, his body, every part of his body. Yet, he still managed to see what is around him, it is all the wounded soldiers, burning armor and helicopters, and many rollover vehicles.
By this time, Sokolov has come.
"Colonel, glad that you have awakened, I hope there is some time for you to rest, but too bad we don't have it. The command gives us a tough mission to finish."
"I already know that before we even entered here. Say something that I don't know, what happened when I was unconscious, what is the situation now?"
"Well, long story short. The mountain we were now on was the body of a big monster; it was awake, and all of us dropped to here. Like you can see around you, we lost many personnel and equipment, and also lost contact with the other friendly forces that are remaining in this mountain."
"Wow, why am I not surprised? What was the mission given by the command?"
"Friendly forces outside are having difficulties duelling with this monster, since it has awakened, they have duel almost zero damage to it. Marshal Orgarkov believe that if it can't be destroyed from outside, then it must be inside. He hopes we can find a way to destroy it."
