Crossing the azure as a black dragon

Before long, the other four people also finished resupplying and gathered at the entrance.

"Now that everything is ready, let's set off."

Wales glanced at everyone and said in a deep voice.

"Wait a minute, meow, you guys take this with you."

Akashi suddenly popped out and handed a metal box, which looked like a folding umbrella, to Black Dragon.

"This is?"

Black Flying Dragon looked at it but couldn't figure out what it was.

"This is a folding tent; it should come in handy outside, meow."

Akashi explained.

"Wow, why are you being so generous today?"

The Prince of Wales raised an eyebrow.

"Don't talk nonsense, meow! I've always been very generous!"

Akashi puffed out his rather thin chest.

What do you want?

Black Flying Dragon wasn't buying it; she knew Akashi wouldn't do business at a loss.

"Hehe, my family really understands me, meow. Here, take this."

"Just bring me back a tiny bit of energy from the sea, meow."

Akashi smiled sweetly and took out a Rubik's Cube from her person, handing it to Black Dragon.

"You rascal, have you heard some rumors again?"

The Prince of Wales looked at Akashi with a mixture of amusement and exasperation.

What are you saying, meow?

Akashi blinked, looking completely innocent.

"Is there anything else? If not, we should get going."

Black Flying Dragon put away the two items given to him by Akashi.

"No more meow~ Have a safe trip meow~"

Akashi took two small steps back and waved to the crowd.

"Then let's go."

Prince of Wales glanced at the four members of Suzuya, who seemed to have perked up considerably after their ship equipment was repaired.

"kindness."

Suzuya responded, but the others remained silent.

……

On the calm sea, a six-person ship girl squad walks on the water. The leader is a blonde woman, and the huge ship cannons on both sides almost cover her, giving people a visual impact.

Black Dragon followed behind Wales, while Suzuya and the others were scattered around her. The feeling of four protecting one was great, at least that's how she felt at this moment.

"Once we cross this line, we've left the safe zone. Safety must be the top priority in all our actions, understand?"

The Prince of Wales drew his sword and drew a dividing line on the sea.

"understand!"

Xiaoyue responded loudly, then realized that she was the only one who responded, and immediately blushed.

"I'll be in charge of reconnaissance on the surface of the sea; I'll leave the underwater activity to you."

Black Flying Dragon reached out and released five carrier-based aircraft, speaking to Qifeng and Nagara.

"learn."

Nagara responded, and his somewhat scattered attention was refocused.

The destruction of the port and the commander's coma filled them with anger and sorrow, but their duty was to fight the Sirens. At sea, all personal emotions had to take a back seat.

"Follow me."

The Prince of Wales was very satisfied with the group's reaction, and after leaving the safe zone, she began to walk along the pre-arranged patrol route.

Two hours later, Black Dragon and his group had left the Free Port area and encountered fewer and fewer ship girls along the way.

"At 40 degrees northeast, 60 nautical miles away, a ship girl has been spotted fighting a Siren. Should we provide support?"

Ignoring the information brought by the carrier-based aircraft, Black Dragon spoke to report.

"How is the battle going?"

The Prince of Wales inquired why she had invited the Black Dragon, explaining that she needed the aircraft carrier's aerial reconnaissance capabilities, which were excellent for providing support.

"The Sirens have three destroyers, three light cruisers, and two heavy cruisers. The ship girl side has three destroyers, three light cruisers, two heavy cruisers, and one battlecruiser. Judging from the situation, we have the advantage. The Sirens' heavy cruisers have lost their combat capability. Wait... a Sirens support force has been discovered in the north: two destroyers, two light cruisers, two heavy cruisers, one heavy cruiser, and one light carrier!"

Black Dragon seemed a bit inexperienced in analyzing the battlefield situation for the first time, but he did mention the key points.

"You hold off the Sirens' support team for a bit. Xiaoyue, you stay here to protect Black Dragon. The rest of you come with me to take care of the Sirens nearby."

The Prince of Wales made his judgment quickly.

"be careful."

Black Dragon was very serious; this was her first time fighting a Siren head-on. Her previous solo mission was purely due to luck.

"You too."

The Prince of Wales smiled slightly and sped toward the battlefield, with Nagara, Suzuya, and Hatakaze following behind.

"I'll leave the vigilance to you."

Black Flying Dragon looked at Xiaoyue.

"kindness."

Xiaoyue nodded.

The Black Dragon breathed a sigh of relief upon receiving the answer. A large number of carrier-based aircraft appeared on the deck runway, took off after a run-up, and flew into the distance.

This was Black Dragon's all-out effort, launching a total of fifty carrier-based aircraft—a terrifying number—filling vast swathes of the sky.

"The takeoff was so fast."

Xiaoyue, standing beside him, watched the plane take off at an astonished speed.

"..."

After launching the aircraft, Black Dragon focused intently, controlling the formation to charge towards the newly appeared Sirens.

The enemy quickly spotted her carrier-based aircraft; planes took off from the light carrier and rushed over, while the remaining ships also set up their guns.

"My mission is to contain, not annihilate."

Black Dragon remained calm, and the fifty planes immediately scattered in all directions. The remaining twenty planes began to engage with the planes on the light carrier, and the sound of chugging filled the sky.

"boom!"

The sound of cannons fired rang out, and smoke billowed from the Sirens. Black Dragon made a slight maneuver, harassing each Siren with three aircraft, while the remaining nine began targeting the Siren light carrier.

'boom.'

The aircraft being piloted suddenly exploded, leaving Black Dragon speechless. It then released new carrier-based aircraft to replace it.

Her hangar is much larger than that of ordinary ship girls, with a total of two hundred carrier-based aircraft, so a little consumption is not a big problem.

'Boom boom boom boom boom!'

It wasn't just the planes that crashed; sparks were constantly flying from the sirens, and the explosions were almost continuous.

Unfortunately, the sirens showed no fear. Even in death, they did not stop resisting. Large numbers of the black dragon's planes were shot down, some falling into the sea and others crashing into the sirens' ships.

'...'

Black Dragon's hand unconsciously rested on the hilt of his sword, his body...

It exuded an inexplicable sense of oppression, and Xiaoyue couldn't help but keep her distance.

"Phew, I acted impulsively."

Finally, Black Dragon breathed a sigh of relief and released his grip on the blade.

Wales and her team have arrived at the second battlefield and begun to reap the rewards from the Sirens that she has blasted half to pieces.

In less than half an hour, she crashed more than thirty planes. If it weren't for the port's free resupply mechanism, she would have been driven into poverty sooner or later.

"Sister Long".

Xiaoyue ran over and called out.

"kindness?"

Black Flying Dragon glanced sideways.

"With someone as strong as you here, will the port still be breached by the Sirens?"

Xiaoyue looked up at the black flying dragon.

“No, I was away on a mission when my port was in trouble. By the time I got back, it was all over.”

Black Dragon paused for a moment, then spoke.

"Feel sorry."

Xiaoyue quickly bowed and apologized.

"It's alright, it's all in the past."

"Black Dragon said softly."

This is the identity she set for herself; as long as she believes it, it's not considered deception.
