Crossing the azure as a black dragon

She thought she had a monster-gathering buff, because wherever she went, there were swarms of sirens.

"Caution is not a bad thing."

Belfast smiled slightly, stepped onto the sea, deployed her ship's equipment, and left the island.

Visibility was poor at night, and Black Dragon's reconnaissance planes could only circle around the area without spotting the sirens.

"Thank you for your hard work. Leave the rest to us."

Cleveland waved as he walked out of the island, handing over the reins to Black Dragon.

The other one is Helena.

"Okay, thank you for your help."

Black Dragon placed reconnaissance aircraft above the surrounding islands before packing up its ship equipment and returning to the island to rest.

"Please be careful with it."

Belfast nodded to the two men and then walked onto the island.

Chapter Thirty-Five: Carrying and C

The first half of the night passed quietly, but as dawn approached, Black Flying Dragon woke up with a start, his forehead covered in a layer of cold sweat.

It's around four in the morning, and the sky is just beginning to lighten.

"Did you feel it too?"

Cleveland, who was resting nearby, also woke up at this time.

Helena and Belfast were already up and watching them.

"Something's strange."

Black Flying Dragon nodded. She was resting at sea, and the length of time didn't matter much, but being woken up was a first for her.

After adjusting his mindset, Black Dragon controlled the reconnaissance plane that had been placed outside to take off and check the situation, but it was shot down by something as soon as it took off.

“There are many sirens nearby.”

Black Flying Dragon's gaze turned cold as he stood up and spoke.

"Let's go."

Helena's expression was serious.

The four of them came to the coast from the temporary camp, where Prince Eugen and Tirpitz were standing on the beach.

"Did you find anything?"

Black Flying Dragon stepped forward and asked.

"The radar did not detect the Sirens."

Prince Eugen's expression was no longer frivolous.

"Did you find anything?"

Tirpitz looked at the black dragon.

"We're probably surrounded by sirens again."

Black Dragon hesitated for a moment, but still told the truth.

"Hmm... Let's go, let's get away from here."

Tirpitz wasn't surprised, and after a moment's thought, he said...

With no objections from the others, Black Dragon deployed its ship equipment and launched a reconnaissance aircraft again, but this time it was more cautious.

The group traversed the water and quickly increased their speed. Through reconnaissance, Black Dragon discovered that there were no Sirens within dozens of nautical miles around, and she did not even encounter any Sirens when passing the island where her reconnaissance plane had been shot down, which made her feel somewhat strange.

They soon left the area.

boom!

Suddenly, a loud bang came from afar, and a shell whistled towards them.

"Be careful to avoid obstacles, then break through directly."

Tirpitz changed his trajectory and made a decision.

While dodging, the Black Dragon's carrier-based aircraft flew towards the direction from which the shells came and quickly discovered traces of the Sirens.

"There are five battleships thirty nautical miles to the right front... twelve imitators are approaching from the west, and a Siren fleet is anchored to the east, fifty nautical miles away."

Only after the Sirens fired did the Black Dragon begin to detect their presence.

"Ignore the other directions and focus on dealing with the Sirens ahead."

Tirpitz began to speak.

Black Dragon said no more and launched its fighter jets and torpedo bombers to fly forward.

After days of fighting, Black Dragon discovered that torpedo bombers were more effective against warship-shaped Sirens; sometimes, with a bit of luck, a single torpedo hit could destroy them.

It can make the sirens sink.

When the carrier-based aircraft arrived over the Sirens ahead, Black Dragon discovered that there were also Sirens moving in the distance, but they did not come closer; they were more like blocking the way.

"Road blocked?"

Tirpitz frowned slightly upon hearing the Black Dragon's report.

"Are you trying to lead us somewhere?"

Prince Eugen made his judgment quickly.

"The Sirens would resort to such petty tricks?"

Cleveland is a bit strange.

"Ignore them, break through in a straight line."

Tirpitz made his judgment.

The group continued forward. When the sirens appeared ahead, the black dragon would attack first. When Tirpitz and the others arrived, they would add some damage, which would basically wipe out the sirens.

The strange phenomenon of the sirens blocking the road lasted for an hour, severely affecting the movement speed of Black Dragon and his group.

What exactly do the Sirens want?

Helena was somewhat worried.

Even though the Sirens' fighting strength wouldn't increase after they had a commander, their inexplicable behavior would make people uneasy.

"Don't worry, we're in Northern Union territory. The Sirens can't possibly send out a large number of them to snipe us. The Northern Union's ship girls are no pushovers!"

Cleveland comforted Helena from the side.

However, she was telling the truth. There are no free ports within the Northern Union to deal with stray sirens, so the ship girls in the maritime ports will patrol according to their own preferences, and they may come to the rescue at any time.

After advancing a distance, Black Dragon's carrier-based aircraft encountered a counterattack from the Siren carrier, and an aerial battle suddenly broke out.

Fortunately, the Black Dragon's control level had improved considerably, allowing it to steal the Sirens' main bodies while simultaneously maneuvering around their fighters.

"..."

Black Dragon pursed her lips. She hadn't encountered any large-scale Sirens along the way, but these small-scale Sirens all seemed to be targeting her, as if they were testing her skills.

Tirpitz and Prince Eugen led the way in silence, their expressions somewhat somber.

Under this strange atmosphere, dawn broke without them realizing it, and the sound of gunfire began to rise all around. This was because the ship girls of the Northern Alliance had run into the Sirens who had come out for a stroll.

The group's spirits lifted, and they began to move forward more quickly.

bump!

Soon, they were attacked by imitators; shells landed around them, splashing up large amounts of water.

"Twenty imitators are coming from directly in front."

Black Dragon quickly provided the information.

"Finally getting serious? Come with me."

Prince Eugen narrowed his eyes and left the group with Cleveland and the other two.

"You harass them from the front, then draw their fire appropriately, and we'll find an opportunity to take them out."

Tirpitz spoke to the black dragon.

"No problem, just be careful."

The black dragon responded.

Tirpitz also shifted to one side.

"They're responsible for both dealing damage and drawing enemy fire."

Black Dragon felt the hardships of being an aircraft carrier.

Despite the barrage of criticism, once the Sirens approached, the Black Dragon quickly deployed a large number of carrier-based aircraft to harass them, then used serpentine maneuvers to absorb the enemy's bombardment.

boom!

The black dragon was hit by the enemy's cannon fire again, and its forward charge was interrupted. Although it was not injured, it was in a bad state.

When the Sirens were twenty nautical miles away from her, the Black Dragon took out her card. The card that Akashi made could only generate four decks in a short time and would need some time to recover, but four decks were enough.

Colorful cards flew out of the Black Dragon's hand, causing great trouble for the imitators. The huge explosion caused by the cards not only impacted them but also created numerous water columns that obstructed their vision, preventing them from having time to cause trouble for Tirpitz and the others.

"Hmph, is it still getting closer to me?"

Black Dragon smiled mysteriously as he watched the imitator charging towards him amidst the explosion.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The five who had left found an opportunity and launched an attack on the Sirens. Explosions rang out one after another, and the imitators were quickly all sunk.

"I have a feeling you can handle Black Dragon all by yourself?"

After the group reunited, Cleveland looked at the black dragon with some curiosity.

She had never seen the Black Dragon fight the Sirens in previous missions, and now that she saw it, its combat capabilities were nothing like those of an aircraft carrier.
