Crossing the azure as a black dragon

Black Dragon felt something was strange; it shouldn't have taken this long to get here from the port.

"Who knows? Maybe they discovered something else."

The Prince of Wales shook his head.

The seas of this world are indeed quite magical; the black dragon is understandable.

"Wales, are you alright? You're badly injured?"

Hood quickly approached the Prince of Wales and put his arm around his shoulder.

"It's alright. Trading one of the Sirens' aircraft carriers and two battleships for them is quite a good deal."

The Prince of Wales, leaning against Hood, wore a smug smile.

"You really should change your personality."

A hint of helplessness appeared on Hu De's face before he looked at Black Flying Dragon and his group.

"Thank you for bringing Wales back. I will have a few people escort you back to port in a while. I will take over your patrol duties, so don't worry."

Hood had a smile on his face when he said this, but Black Dragon felt a chill.

The royal elegance seemed to be angry.

"Thank you."

With the philosophy of speaking less to avoid making mistakes, Black Flying Dragon continued the conversation.

"Yes, reputation, counterattack... Sheffield, escort Wales and these ladies back to port."

Hood grabbed the Prince of Wales's somewhat restless hand and turned to call out three ship girls to step forward.

"understood."

Prestige was the first to step forward, followed by a counterattack. The two men took the Prince of Wales from him, each supporting one of the princes.

Black Dragon looked at the Prince of Wales's leg; the bleeding from the scratches had stopped, and he didn't look like someone who couldn't fly independently at all.

"Dear guests, please follow us."

Even when going on an attack, Sheffield, dressed in a maid's outfit, stepped forward and came to the group. After speaking, she turned and left, and the two men carrying the Prince of Wales followed her.

"Please be careful with it."

Black Flying Dragon thought for a moment, reminded Hood, and followed the people in front. Suzuya and the others followed as well.

"Hey~ You acted pretty well!"

Littorio and the other Black Dragonmen walked away before approaching Hood, praising him.

"How can we lure them out if they don't seem like it? Let's go."

Hu De glanced at the backs of Black Dragon and the others, then turned and rushed towards the area where they were being besieged.

domain.

She was genuinely a little angry.

……

After separating from Hood and the others, Black Dragon launched her reconnaissance plane again. It's unclear whether Hood saw that she wasn't seriously injured and didn't send an aircraft carrier over, so she had to take on the reconnaissance role again.

The three members of the Prestige Trio led the way, and Black Dragon was not easy to talk to, so he could only focus his attention on scouting out of boredom.

Then she discovered something strange.

More than ten minutes after saying goodbye to Hood and the others, Black Dragon's carrier-based aircraft detected two squadrons of ship girls wandering around forty nautical miles away from them.

After being separated from the two squads of ship girls for more than ten minutes, she spotted the two patrol squads of ship girls again.

"No wonder I felt so at ease; it turns out I had already confirmed my safe return journey."

Black Dragon felt much better.

"Sister Long, is this the direction of the port?"

Half an hour later, Xiaoyue approached Heifeilong and asked in a low voice.

"Hmm? I guess so, I have no sense of direction."

Black Flying Dragon raised an eyebrow.

"...I remember the port should be that way."

After Xiaoyue labeled the Black Flying Dragon as a directionally challenged ship girl, she pointed it in the right direction.

"Really? I'll go up and ask."

Black Flying Dragon glanced at the three people beside her, and when she noticed that they were also looking at her, a strange sense of responsibility welled up in her heart, and she sped up to catch up with the Prince of Wales and his group of four.

"Wales... huh?"

Just as they caught up and were about to speak, Black Dragon's reconnaissance plane spotted three ship girls rushing towards them from directly ahead.

Strangely, Black Dragon didn't recognize these three ship girls?

Black Dragon admitted that he didn't know all the ship girls in the game, but at least he had some impression of them. He had no impression of these three at all. Moreover, the ship equipment of these three was unusually exaggerated. When viewed from above, they looked like small weapon fortresses.

Is there a problem with this guest?

Sheffield looked at the black dragon, his expression completely unchanged.

"My reconnaissance plane has spotted three unidentified ship girls ahead. Are they friendly forces?"

The black dragon chanted rapidly.

"They're not friendly forces, let's take another route."

Without hesitation, Sheffield turned a corner, then pulled a communicator from her maid outfit and whispered a few words.

"???"

Black Flying Dragon's expression was somewhat subtle, but he still changed direction, which was the direction Xiaoyue pointed out for returning to port.

"!"

Less than a minute after the group turned the corner, towering columns of water shot up around the three ship girls that Black Dragon had scouted, but there was no one else around.

They were attacked by a submarine!

“That’s an ‘imitation,’ a type of Siren. They seem to be trying to get close to us with that fake. Isn’t that ridiculous?”

The Prince of Wales, freed from the support of the two men, gave a sarcastic explanation.

"anything else?"

Black Dragon looked at the Prince of Wales, who was in a completely different state than before.

"It's gone."

The Prince of Wales blinked.

"How long do you plan to stay at sea?"

Black Dragon didn't delve into the matter further and changed the subject.

"Let's slip away until dawn, just to finish our patrol route."

The Prince of Wales thought for a moment and then said.

"Row."

Black Dragon didn't know what the royals were doing, nor was she interested in knowing more. She slowed down and returned to Suzuya and the other three to explain the situation.

"Is the team leader acting as bait to lure out the sirens lurking in these waters?"

Qi Feng quickly deduced this line of thought.

"What do you think, Suzutani?"

Black Flying Dragon looked at Suzuya.

"Huh? Didn't the team leader say that the Sirens wanted to take revenge on us? It should be like what Qifeng said... probably."

Suzuya seemed surprised to be called out and answered somewhat flusteredly.

"Okay, then let's run together."

Black Dragon didn't think much of it and continued to send out planes to conduct reconnaissance.

After that, they changed direction many times, basically just circling around this sea area. But every ten minutes or so, Black Dragon could spot the ship girls fighting the Sirens, with the sound of gunfire almost never stopping.

It was supposed to be just a patrol mission, but it was turned into the atmosphere of a large-scale battle.

Very strange.

As time passed, the sun rose above the horizon, its dazzling rays illuminating a vast expanse of sea.

"Tsk, these cowardly sirens."

As he watched the rising sun, the Prince of Wales stopped moving and stood on the sea.

"You've worked hard, you can go back now."

Squinting at the sunrise, the Prince of Wales looked at the three Prestige figures beside him and said.

"Please be careful with it."

The three turned and left.

"You've all worked hard, let's go back to Hong Kong."

The Prince of Wales turned to look at Black Dragon and his companions.

Do you frequently engage in entrapment operations?

Seeing the Prince of Wales's practiced movements, Black Dragon couldn't help but ask a question.

"It's not that often, but we encounter this situation occasionally. The Sirens seem to be particularly interested in powerful ship girls. As long as you show strong combat power, you will be targeted by the Sirens. I thought I could catch a big fish this time when I encountered a teleportation point."

The Prince of Wales shrugged.

"...Powerful ship girls? Why are you looking at me?"
