Chapter 1536 Geniuses Go Out
Faced with this stalemate, the Eagle Nation was obviously unwilling to accept it. Although there was no large-scale conflict at present, the Eagle Nation was actually the loser in this stalemate. After all, this was their territory, and their attack on the Earth Core Tribe was negligible, while the harassment of the Earth Core Tribe was causing increasing damage to the Eagle Nation, which was visible to the naked eye.

Although the destructive power visible to the naked eye is not that great, it is a challenge to the Eagle Country's reputation and is definitely a heavy blow to the Eagle Country's self-esteem and arrogance.

Because the terrain chosen by the Earth Core Tribe for their stronghold is too advantageous, it is difficult for the Eagle Nation to carry out a sweep of the area occupied by the Earth Core Tribe.

No heavy weapon could possibly reach deep underground. Most importantly, the base chosen by the Earth Core Tribe on the Kodo Plateau spanned at least several hundred kilometers and was located at a very deep position.

The most powerful earth-penetrating missile in the world can probably only attack to a depth of more than 100 meters.

But the base of the Earth Core Clan is deep underground below the plateau, at least a few hundred meters from the surface, and at most one or two thousand meters. Coupled with the terrifying depth, it is almost a completely independent world. Relying on the Earth Core World, and located in an area close to the surface, it is considered the middle ground between the two places.

Advance to attack, retreat to defend.

Although it is far away from the inner world, it is still a safe distance from the surface world. It must be said that the unique terrain of the Kodo Plateau gives the inner world people this unique advantage.

The Eagle Country has certainly taken all conceivable options into consideration.

After several days of wrangling, the request made by the two young geniuses was finally approved. When the Supervisory Bureau formally contacted the two young geniuses and prepared to sign a contract with them, one of them flatly refused on the grounds that it had been delayed for too long and his interest had declined.

As a result, there was only one young genius left willing to go to the core area of ​​the Earth Clan’s stronghold for reconnaissance.

After the young genius got all the conditions he wanted, he did not do anything else. This made the Supervisory Bureau feel very relieved.

After all, there are still reliable people among the younger generation.

And so, the day after attending a small-scale high-end cocktail party, the young genius finally set off with the expectations of the top management.

The deadline he gave was seven days, and he would definitely return with the information within seven days.

In terms of ability, this young genius does have it. His talent is indeed far beyond the cognition of ordinary awakened people.

He was a rare dual-attribute awakener, not only awakening the wind attribute, but also awakening the lightning attribute. In addition, this person was born in a very high class, a descendant of the Eagle Country consortium family. Not only did he have outstanding talents, but he also had some equipment that others could not imagine.

Therefore, not only in the inner world, but also in the surface world, there may be no public bloodline levels, and no so-called ten golden clans, but consortiums, wealthy families, and circles also exist.

Perhaps awakening talents is fair to every human on the surface. But the resources enjoyed behind awakening talents are by no means completely fair. It can even be said that there is no absolute fairness.

Take Jiang Yue's group as an example. When the weirdness first started, most people were still confused. When they were eating melons on the Internet, Han Jingjing had already used things like awakening potions, and Du Yifeng, the son of a wealthy family, had already posted various internal reference videos in the class group.

At the beginning of the weirdness, the information gap was actually the smallest gap between different classes. The real gap was the resources they enjoyed, which were absolutely different.

Those powerful classes knew that a strange era was coming, so they stockpiled enough food, medicine, and resources, and prepared a sufficiently safe doomsday fortress, including awakening potions. But does anything circulated among the upper class have anything to do with the grassroots below?

The Dazhang Kingdom is a little more secretive in this regard, but in the Eagle Kingdom, there is no intention of hiding anything and people do it justifiably.

This young man named McKen is a scion of a large chaebol family in the Eagle Country, and is also the next generation that the chaebol is focusing on training.

His move this time was not just a personal request, but also represented the demands made by the consortium behind him to the military and political circles of the Eagle Country.

What's behind it is actually an exchange of interests.

McKen didn't try to fool around, but of course he wouldn't be so stupid as to rush straight to the Earth Tribe's base like an idiot.

Instead, he first wandered around the Eagle Nation troops stationed outside the Earth Core Clan's territory to gain a deeper understanding of the situation, and then met with those investigators who had escaped death. He gained advance knowledge of every detail, and could be said to have done his homework.

After completing all the preparations, McKen asked all parties to continue sending out scouts, while he mixed in with the many scouts and infiltrated the base of the Earth Core Tribe.

It must be said that although this McCann came from a wealthy family and was an unattainable aristocratic son, his method of doing things was quite mature and different from those so-called geniuses who had high aspirations but low skills.

And he was indeed able to rely on his own abilities and the cover of many reconnaissance personnel to infiltrate deeper areas and enter the core area of ​​the inner earth's residence.

However, as soon as he approached, the early warning system set up by the Earth Core Tribe was finally activated. Although he could avoid the eyes and ears of the Earth Core Tribe, he could not completely avoid the Earth Core Tribe's endless early warning methods. It was not his fault, after all, he had never been to the Earth Core World to train.

He has done everything he can. If he is given a year or two of training in the inner world, perhaps he will be more comfortable in this reconnaissance operation.

Of course, there are no assumptions. When he triggered the early warning mechanism, it meant that the Earth Core Tribe had already determined that a scout had intruded, and had set up more traps and ambushes in the core hinterland, ready to capture him at any time.

Fortunately, McCann was a very rational person. When he realized that his whereabouts had been exposed, he immediately decided to stop moving forward. Instead, he patrolled and scouted the surrounding area and did not go deeper. Even though he failed to enter the core hinterland, the information he discovered was enough to shock him.

It turns out that the inner world has formed such an amazing climate here, which is completely equivalent to an independent world. Its scale is even comparable to that of a large city, or even comparable to some small countries.

The most important thing is that in this area, all conventional attacks from the surface world are really useless. Most of the weapons and equipment that the major countries in the surface world have madly developed are still used to hurt each other among the surface humans. In this case, even if the surface world is willing to pay with human lives, it is difficult to attack.

Even though he hadn't entered the core area, McKen knew that the base chosen by the Earth Core Tribe was too stable. This was destined to become a major concern for the Eagle Nation.

McKen did not leave, but chose to continue cruising and scouting around. The Earth Core Tribe would naturally not let him go, and quickly organized a group of experts to encircle and suppress him.

McKen was extremely alert. When he realized that he was about to be surrounded by several masters of the same level from the Earth Core Clan, he turned around and left without any hesitation.

His decisiveness made the masters of the Earth Core Clan feel quite depressed. The awakened person from the surface world who could penetrate to this position must be no pushover. The Earth Core Clan naturally hoped to kill him to strengthen their momentum.

At the same time, we are also trying to find out how strong the awakened humans on the surface are at present.

But McKen didn't give them this opportunity at all. He would never allow himself to get into trouble in the opponent's territory, and the speed of his retreat far exceeded the expectations of the Earth Core Tribe.

After returning to the surface world, McKen did not leave immediately, but chose another direction and entered the stronghold of the Earth Core Tribe again.

Relying on his powerful skills, especially his concealment and ability to come and go without being noticed, he has the capital to go deeper into the tiger's den again.

Just as previous intelligence said, the stronghold of the Earth Core Clan does indeed span several hundred kilometers in all directions, and this is the depth on all four sides.

The most important thing is that the underground project goes down to the center of the earth. Although there is a long passageway, the round trip is far away, but the other end of this long passage is the center of the earth after all. This allows the center of the earth tribe to still have support behind their base.

Even if this support is indeed a bit far away.

Through in-depth observation, McKen also found that it seemed that everyone in the Earth Core Tribe in the stronghold was very busy. It didn't seem that they were preparing for war, but they were indeed very busy.

It seemed as if everyone in the base was busy with something. Macon also tried to follow and observe, but he couldn't figure out anything after observing for a long time.

One thing is certain, the other party is doing some kind of work in the underground engineering of this base. This kind of work seems a bit like the construction of fortifications during the war.

But is it necessary to build fortifications deep underground? Can the shells reach this area? Besides, the work they did seemed to be different from fortifications. But there was no doubt that everything they did was very important to the Earth Core Tribe.

Judging from their level of commitment, this project must have extremely high strategic significance for the Earth Core Tribe.

But what are they doing?
If Jiang Yue or the Star City team were here, they would definitely be able to tell at a glance. Isn't this the port for building the teleportation array? Isn't it for connecting the spirit vein to the teleportation array?
They had seen many teleportation arrays in the inner world, so they were naturally familiar with this.

But after all, McCann had never been to the inner world of the earth, and lacked the most intuitive understanding of the inner world of the earth. At this time, the gap in experience and cognition could not be made up by talent and background.

Although McCann was puzzled, he was smart enough to remember all the details he saw and even took out his camera to record some key parts.

However, since the Earth Core Tribe knew of his existence, the early warning mechanism was naturally upgraded. No matter how McKen changed his position, as long as he tried to go deeper, he would immediately alert the other party's early warning mechanism.

McKen was also very patient. He went around with the masters of the Earth Core Tribe. Although he was not allowed to enter the core area, he was able to obtain important information that had not been obtained by hundreds of scouts who had sacrificed their lives.

The most important thing is that he can come back alive and bring back intelligence, especially with recorded video footage, which is more convincing than any verbal statement.

Of course, the light inside the Earth Core Clan's stronghold was dim, so the clarity and visibility of the recorded data were naturally not as perfect as in broad daylight.

But that's enough.

The military and political circles of the Eagle Nation, including the Supervisory Board, could not say that they were dissatisfied with McCann's action.

They have indeed gone deep enough and brought back so much intelligence data, and such direct video footage, which far exceeds the previous intelligence.

You know, the number of intelligence personnel dispatched before was at least 3,000, and most of them had already stopped in the outer areas.

If we go any deeper, we will be in danger of death.

Although we have obtained a lot of information, most of it is superficial. It has some reference value, but it is hard to say that it is very valuable.

The information brought back by McKen completely opened a new door to cognition, allowing the Eagle Nation to truly realize that the Earth Core Tribe had not only established a foothold in the Eagle Nation, but also built such a magnificent stronghold.

This stronghold also indirectly confirmed that the Eagle Country could not do anything to the enemy relying solely on its military's powerful weapons by sea, land and air.

This stronghold is destined not to be destroyed by missile firepower.

Unless the Earth Core People rush out of the ground to duel with them, the power of surface technological weapons can be exerted to the maximum extent.

Initially, the Earth Core Tribe did exactly that. After suffering a series of setbacks, the Earth Core Tribe learned their lesson and knew that if they charged head-on, the humans on the surface would not follow the moral code of war and would never engage in a head-on, close combat with them on the battlefield.

Once the enemy's long-range weapons launch a saturation attack, no matter how strong the body of the awakened people in the inner earth world is, or how fearless they are, they will be blown to pieces and defeated.

Of course, there are also powerful Earth Clan members who are not afraid of these attacks, but those who are so powerful that they can ignore the existence of surface weapon attacks are still a minority.

Even if these people can get to the surface army, the surface army is also equipped with a team of awakened people. One can't beat you, two can't beat you, what about ten or a hundred?
What's more, in close combat, the various weapons of the surface army are also hard to defend against.

Therefore, the reason why the Earth Core Clan had repeatedly fallen into trouble before was that they did not pay enough attention to tactics and were still stuck in the war state and thinking of the Earth Core World. The army was accustomed to charging head-on, dealing damage at close range, and defeating the opponent.

This primitive fighting style is exactly what the surface army likes most. It is just like a machine cutting wheat, knocking down large groups of people, as easy as playing a game.

The Earth Core Tribe were not stupid. After suffering a series of setbacks, they finally calmed down and began to give up the stupid frontal charge.
