Crossing the azure as a black dragon

"Oh."

Yuudachi scratched her cheek in disappointment.

"We've already notified the boss; backup will be here soon."

Birmingham put away the communicator.

"kindness."

Black Dragon led his team closer to the nearby island, piloting a reconnaissance plane to get closer, hoping to gather some intelligence.

Chapter 81 A Brief Battle (4500)

After finding cover, Black Dragon carefully maneuvered the reconnaissance plane to begin his reconnaissance mission.

After so many battles, she had a general idea of ​​the Sirens' detection range for aircraft. As long as carrier-based aircraft did not get within ten nautical miles of the Sirens, they would not react violently.

"Five destroyers, three light cruisers, two heavy cruisers, one battleship and two aircraft carriers... There don't seem to be many people on the other side. I'll sneak a peek at their aircraft carrier."

After observing the Sirens moored ahead, the Black Dragon looked around for a while but didn't find any other Sirens, so it started to get itchy to fight.

Be careful.

Birmingham said something from the side.

"rest assured."

Black Flying Dragon responded, and the carrier-based aircraft began to take off from the runway.

This sortie consisted of twenty torpedo bombers, ten bombers, and twenty fighters, with each of the two aircraft carriers carrying half of each aircraft.

After flying at low altitude for a distance, the fighter jet suddenly took off, passing directly through the clouds and heading towards the Sirens. It soon arrived above the Sirens and launched an attack.

The Sirens' reaction this time was quite slow. They only started anti-aircraft fire when the bombers were already overhead. Black Dragon skillfully controlled the torpedo bombers and dropped a volley of torpedoes on the two Siren carriers.

Boom!

The torpedo struck the hull and exploded, creating a considerable wave. Several more torpedoes then hit the hull, while bombers dropped bombs from the air.

The bombs landed on the runway and detonated the Sirens on the decks, and the subsequent chain of explosions engulfed both aircraft carriers in flames.

"This sneak attack was a bit too easy. Let's retreat a bit."

After achieving his goal, Black Flying Dragon spoke to the two people beside him.

Previously, when she encountered the Sirens, she didn't think much about it and just wanted to wipe them all out. But now she feels there's no need to fight the Sirens head-on. After taking down their aircraft carrier, she can easily take down the remaining Sirens.

She is an aircraft carrier, capable of conducting beyond-visual-range strikes.

Upon hearing Black Dragon's words, Yuudachi and Birmingham began to retreat. As Black Dragon retreated, it also withdrew its flight path.

Carrier-based aircraft.

As for the Sirens, they immediately followed the carrier-based aircraft. Fortunately, the two sides were far apart, and even the battleship couldn't reach Black Dragon and the others.

boom!

Just as the Black Dragon retreated, several cannonballs roared out from the north, on the Sirens' side, directly hitting the heavy cruiser and battleship in the middle of the Sirens. The two warships were instantly penetrated, and amidst the chain of explosions, the two Sirens slowly sank.

"Is there really someone over there?"

The black dragon immediately stopped in its tracks.

"Go and provide backup."

Birmingham said.

They were initially outnumbered, but now that the Sirens have lost four capital ships, they can give it a try.

"You may go."

Black Dragon launched another thirty carrier-based aircraft.

"Great!"

Yuudachi rushed out happily, with Birmingham following behind.

The carrier-based aircraft launched by Black Dragon followed the two of them. In addition, she also launched ten reconnaissance aircraft to observe the surrounding situation.

She didn't believe that the sirens would inexplicably stop here and wait to be beaten.

Sure enough, the reconnaissance plane flew dozens of miles in several other directions and saw a large number of mass-produced Sirens approaching. Although they were in groups of two or three, the total number was enormous.

What's strange is that only a few people came this way; most moved south.

"Is that Cleveland and the others coming from that direction?"

Black Dragon frowned. If they were to calculate the timeline, Cleveland and her group should have only just set off.

Are the Sirens trying to cut off their retreat, or are they trying to intercept reinforcements?

Either possibility is very strange.

Despite their deliberations, the first thirty carrier-based aircraft, piloted by Black Dragon, still caused considerable trouble for the remaining nine Sirens.

With the combined attacks of Yuudachi, Birmingham, and the unknown ship girl on the other side, the Sirens were quickly defeated and sank into the ocean.

"Let's go and meet up with the other side."

The black dragon caught up with the two.

Following the black dragon, Yuudachi and the other two passed through the wreckage of the Sirens and saw six figures moving in the same direction.

The leader was Soviet Rossiya, whom Black Dragon had met once before. She and several other ship girls were injured and had been in battle.

"Hmm? You two seem to be the ones who said my invention was useless during the Mid-Autumn Festival?"

Miss Minsk from the Northern Alliance squad recognized Black Dragon and his companion at a glance.

"Ahem, Sirens are approaching. We need to get out of here first."

Black Dragon coughed, pretending not to have heard Minsk's words.

"Let's go straight back. The eldest sister and the others should have already set off."

Birmingham said.

"The Sirens' movements?"

Soviet eyes fell on Black Dragon; their team had no aircraft carrier and had suffered many losses at the hands of the Sirens along the way.

Black Dragon recounted his discovery.

"Hmm... the Sirens' main target might not be us. Let's find a place to hide for a while, and then we can attack the Sirens from both sides with the reinforcements."

The Soviet thought for a moment and then said.

"That's right! Running away isn't our style. After harassing us for so long, we can't let them go back peacefully!"

Upon hearing the Soviet's words, Gangut broke into a bright smile.

"Alright then, I've found a rocky area ahead, it's quite secluded."

Black Flying Dragon also thought that the Soviets' words made sense, so he agreed.

"Let's go."

The Soviet nodded and, as the leader, began to lead the operation.

The reef area was discovered when the Black Dragon arrived, so the group ran some distance towards the port area. Along the way, a Siren emerged from the water and appeared near them. The Soviets and their men swiftly sank it.

"These sirens appear to be undetectable by radar when they are not deploying."

Minsk temporarily set aside his prejudices against the two men and spoke up.

"really."

Black Dragon nodded. Her radar was practically useless; it could only detect friendly forces, and only a few enemy forces.

"In that case, why don't you, Minsk, develop a new radar?"

Mercury Memorial said next to Minsk.

"Ah, inventing something like this requires inspiration! I don't have any radar-related inspiration right now, so it won't work."

Minsk refused without hesitation.

"Isn't this just useless?"

Xi Li whispered bb.

"What did you say!?"

Minsk immediately became furious.

"Stop arguing, there are sirens blocking our way."

Black Dragon listened to the conversation between the two with a headache when the reconnaissance plane ahead suddenly sent back some information.

Fifty nautical miles away from them, a large group of sirens lay in wait.

On the sea, 25 sirens, including 4 aircraft carriers, blocked a very large area, and some sirens were even moving closer to it.

"The Sirens are too rampant, it's a pity we can't find their lair."

Soviet frowned; she didn't like this passive feeling.

"The sirens from other directions have also surrounded us."

Murmansk said softly from the side.

"The reef area is just ahead, let's go."

Black Dragon wasn't in a hurry; the fact that the Sirens hadn't attacked meant they hadn't yet discovered their exact location.

After running a little further, a group of large, numerous rocks jutting out of the sea appeared before them, perfectly concealing their figures.

There was a small island not far away, but going ashore would not be conducive to a quick evacuation, so the group ultimately chose to rest on the rocks.

"Luckily, those idiots don't have radar either."
