Crossing the azure as a black dragon

Page 35

In missions of this caliber, the Sirens' energy is controlled by whoever kills them; their sustained damage output simply can't compete with battleships and battlecruisers, and they might not even be able to out-damage Yuudachi.

That's a bit sad.

Tirpitz, who had been observing the black dragon, pondered for a while, then broke away from the group and ran towards Amagi. After a while, she brought Amagi over.

"We're almost at our target area. There are too many of us, and we're too conspicuous, which could easily attract an attack from the Sirens. How about we split up?"

Amagi looked at the three members of the Royal Navy. She had come to request an aircraft carrier. If they were to split into groups, Eagle alone would not have enough air power.

"That…"

"I'll go inform U101. Eagle, you and Royal Ark will go with Amagi and the others. Is that alright?"

Tirpitz interrupted the Black Dragon's speech and made the necessary arrangements.

"No problem, let's go."

Eagle and Royal Ark exchanged a glance, then followed Sky City and broke away from Black Dragon's group.

"kindness?"

Black Flying Dragon looked at Amagi without turning her head, completely confused. Logically speaking, shouldn't the group include her and Yuudachi?

"Don't worry, they are all very capable."

Glory saw Black Flying Dragon looking at Tiancheng and his group, and kindly comforted Black Flying Dragon.

"Okay, thank you for your help."

Black Dragon nodded.

After thinking it over, all she could think of was that she was too incompetent and couldn't meet the air superiority standards required by Tiancheng.

Tirpitz moved extremely fast, and the group of twenty-four people turned into two groups in the blink of an eye, and after a while they could no longer see each other.

After splitting up, Tirpitz returned to the Black Dragon's side, and the group continued onward. Before long, the Black Dragon spotted the Sirens again.

The fleet was quite large, consisting of seven destroyers, five light cruisers, four heavy cruisers, two battleships, and one destroyer. No humanoid sirens were found.

"Sirens spotted 60 nautical miles ahead."

The black dragon gave Tirpitz the number and position of the Sirens.

"Take the initiative, destroy the aircraft carriers and battleships first, and then harass the other ships."

Tirpitz gave the order.

"kindness."

Black Dragon and Glorious simultaneously launched their aircraft, and a large number of planes took off and flew into the distance. Yuudachi and his group, who were strolling ahead, also noticed the situation and began to adjust their formation to prepare to meet the enemy.

Birmingham left the Black Dragon, but Tirpitz remained still.

Chapter Twenty-Seven: Was I the Idiot?

The battle didn't last long. After Black Dragon and Glorious dealt with the Sirens' carriers and battleships, the rest of the Sirens were quickly cleared out by the assault team in front.

Just as Amagi said, every ship girl participating in this mission was extremely powerful. Such a number of Sirens couldn't even scratch them. On the contrary, Black Dragon felt that she was only half-baked and not worth the other factions sending so many people to keep an eye on her.

Thinking this, Black Dragon secretly glanced at Tirpitz, who was deep in thought.

Tirpitz did not take any action throughout the entire battle, but simply watched them fight the Sirens.

"Black Dragon, are you... not very good at using aircraft in combat?"

Just as he was thinking about it, Tirpitz asked a question hesitantly.

"Why do you say that?"

Black Dragon blushed slightly; she really wasn't good at it.

"Don't worry about it. Everyone has things they're not good at, but I suggest you practice more."

Tirpitz said calmly.

"I'll do my best."

The black dragon responded.

It's a bit unreasonable for an aircraft carrier to be good at close combat rather than air combat.

"Let's go."

After saying those two sentences, Tirpitz sped towards the battlefield.

"Don't mind what she says, Black Dragon, your carrier-based aircraft control is already excellent."

Glory stood beside Black Flying Dragon and comforted him.

"Thank you."

Black Flying Dragon felt a warmth in his heart.

"By the way, how did you figure out I'm not good at aerial combat?"

After thanking him, Black Dragon became curious again. It was one thing to be glorious, but how did Tirpitz also figure it out?

"It's probably his expression."

The tone of the honor is uncertain.

"?"

The black dragon tilted its head.

"Your expression will be a little tense after a large number of carrier-based aircraft take off."

"Glory said."

"is it?"

Black Dragon touched her face. She was so focused on controlling the plane that she didn't notice her own expression.

"let's go."

Glory revealed a faint smile, accelerated its flight, and Black Dragon followed.

The group collected the energy spilled by the sirens and held a brief meeting.

"We're already in a pretty dangerous area, and we'll be encountering more Sirens soon. I don't think we can afford to be as careless as before. What do you guys think?"

Tirpitz looked at the team members with their various expressions and spoke.

No one present had any objections. In fact, everyone present knew each other. It was only because of the addition of the newcomer, Black Dragon, that Tirpitz chose to observe one battle before making any arrangements.

"Next, U47, you will scout beneath the surface, while Glorious and Black Dragon will scout the surface."

The rest of you, take your preferred positions to protect the two; I'll stay at the very back.

It's called an arrangement, but it really just means gathering the teams together to prevent situations where communication between the front and rear teams is impossible after encountering the Sirens.

"Oh!"

"Understood!"

Yuudachi and Santiago responded loudly, and the others nodded in agreement.

After a brief pause, the group resumed their activities. This time, their formation was more normal, and Black Dragon felt safer surrounded by a group of people.

"Go ahead and do it without worrying about the consequences."

Tirpitz brushed past the black dragon and said in a low voice.

"kindness."

The black dragon responded.

The fleet continued deeper into the sea, and soon they discovered the Sirens' fleet, which was much larger than the previous ones, with more than twenty-five ships in total, occupying a large area just by sitting on the sea.

With Tirpitz providing support from behind, Black Dragon was able to operate with peace of mind, managing to keep its losses to just five carrier-based aircraft after the battle.

"Sure enough, when you were adrift overseas alone, even when you were piloting a plane to attack the Sirens, you were still aware of your surroundings. Doing two things at once on the battlefield is not a good thing."

Tirpitz noticed the subtle changes in the black dragon.

"Been taught a lesson."

Black Dragon also realized this.

"In the future, you will mostly be working in groups, and you will need to try to entrust your back to your colleagues."

"Tirpitz said."

"kindness."

The black dragon responded.

The black dragon was very obedient, and Tirpitz was quite satisfied. After two small battles, the group found a nearby island to rest.

"It's great to be in the deep sea; you can find sirens every day."

Black Flying Dragon sat on a rock, while Yuudachi squatted on the beach beside him, digging in the sand.

"Yuudachi, you really enjoy fighting the Sirens."

Black Flying Dragon looked down at Yuudachi.
