Crossing the azure as a black dragon

"No way, I would have been in danger too if you hadn't intervened in time."

Black Flying Dragon shook his head.

She was still not entirely satisfied with her firepower, and decided that Akashi would definitely make her more equipment when she had more time.

"Your ship equipment is really tough."

Princess Eugen's gaze swept over the Black Dragon's deck. She had just witnessed the Black Dragon being hit head-on by the Sirens six times, but apart from black dust, there was no damage to the man's deck.

If it were anyone else, even a battleship would be severely damaged after taking those few shots.

"You can also pay Akashi to upgrade your ship's equipment."

Black Flying Dragon spoke without hesitation.

"Hmph, that cat doesn't have that kind of ability."

Prince Eugen chuckled and said nothing more.

Black Flying Dragon stroked her chin. She felt that Akashi was being underestimated, even though her work was so impressive.

The group continued on their journey, encountering fewer and fewer sirens along the way, and the sea returned to calm.

"Our destination is not far away."

"Tirpitz said."

"Another group of imitators is coming... Huh?"

No sooner had he finished speaking than the Black Dragon spotted a squad of Sirens, but the appearance of these Sirens looked somewhat familiar to the Black Dragon.

These three humanoid sirens, however, bear distinct features of marine life. One of the sirens in the middle has two light bulb-like tentacles on its head, and its ship equipment is also close to a biological form, no longer purely mechanical.

Of the remaining two, one has tentacles on the lower body and a human upper body, while the other has red skin that resembles a shell. Their ship equipment is also very strange, being half mechanical and half biological.

"The chess player?... There are three rather strange-looking sirens ahead."

Black Dragon muttered something to himself, then gave his report.

"Strange sirens? Are they animal-like creatures?"

Tirpitz quickly realized what was happening.

"kindness."

The black dragon responded.

“Be careful, these are sirens that are more troublesome than imitators. We call them ‘oddities.’ Some people speculate that they may possess intelligence, but we have never received any substantial response.”

Tirpitz said, frowning.

"Is this a large quantity?"

The black flying dragon is rather strange; it has never been seen in the Eastern Empire.

"This type of Sirens is concentrated in the Northern Alliance and Ironblood territory, and rarely appears in the Eastern Empire."

Helena explained from the side.

"These sirens usually have unique attack methods and...some rather peculiar abilities, so be careful."

Tirpitz spoke up to remind him.

"clear."

Black Dragon turned his gaze, and the bombers in the sky rushed towards the three strange sirens.

boom!

The moment the bombers appeared, the siren with tentacles on its head immediately took action. Instead of firing cannons, it fired something white, like an energy blast, which shot down five carrier-based aircraft in one go.

"hiss."

The loss of five bombers in an instant caused Black Dragon some pain, and the planes quickly turned around.

"Bullets with tentacles on the head are very deadly and fast, so be careful to dodge them."

Black Dragon provided the information.

"Let's split up first and test out their attack methods."

After Tirpitz finished speaking, he and Prince Eugen veered to the right and left the group. Cleveland and Helena also veered to the left, leaving Black Dragon and Belfast in the middle.

"Do you need my help?"

Belfast followed behind the black dragon, her tone perfectly calm.

Her clothes remained clean throughout the journey, and the sirens never encountered her.

"Um... you cover me, I'll go take them out."

Black Flying Dragon thought for a moment, then drew his sword and charged forward.

Fighting the Sirens is tiring enough; let's forget about outsmarting them.

"Understood."

Belfast smiled and began to act autonomously.

What is that idiot planning to do?

Prince Eugen glanced back at the black dragon.

"You'll find out soon enough. Go and cover for me."

Tirpitz didn't stop the Black Dragon; she wanted to see just how far it could go.

"They just charged straight in? Wow, their recklessness rivals that of a corporation."

Cleveland also noticed the Black Dragon's actions and was immediately at a loss.

One company is enough, why is another one like Black Dragon coming along?

"Hmm... let's cover for them."

Helena was also somewhat hesitant about this, as she had been persecuted by corporations many times.

Black Dragon had no idea what the others were thinking; all she wanted to do was kill those three bastards as quickly as possible, complete her mission, and go back.

The three sirens hesitated slightly when they saw the black dragon charging towards them. The shell-shaped siren in the middle charged towards the black dragon, seemingly wanting to engage in close combat.

"...Is this an attempt to collect my data?"

Black Dragon narrowed her eyes. She remembered that the Observer in the game, Big-Eyed Cutie, was always talking about data and experiments. Maybe these strange Sirens were here to do the same thing.

The two approached rapidly, and when they were only two nautical miles apart, Black Dragon pulled out a stack of cards and threw them at the Sirens. The cards landed on the Sirens with astonishing power, and the sound of the explosion at that distance made Black Dragon's ears hurt.

However, in the next instant, the siren broke through the smoke and rushed out. The explosion of the card left marks on her body, which was covered in blood. It seemed that she had only suffered minor injuries.

Black Flying Dragon frowned immediately, and slashed down with his long sword, unleashing a two-meter-long sword aura. However, the siren in front of him suddenly sank into the water and went underwater.

The sword energy that was dodged dissipated after traveling only a short distance. The black dragon ignored the diving creature and charged directly at the other two.

As soon as the horned siren saw the black dragon rushing over, it adjusted its main cannon and fired white energy bullets at high speed. The octopus siren next to it also flung out more than a dozen fish-like things with its tentacles.

boom!

The moment the two sirens made a move, Tirpitz seized the opportunity and unleashed a barrage of cannonballs, blasting the two sirens to pieces in a gruesome scene.

"My head..."

Black Dragon dodged the attacks of the two sirens by running and jumping, then used sonar to track the underwater siren and finished it off with three strikes.

She then discovered that these three sirens were not producing any energy.

“Odd-shaped sirens don’t produce energy, we’re leaving.”

Tirpitz came over and greeted him.

"I don't think these things are likely to be intelligent; they're even dumber than the imitators."

Black Dragon curled his lip and followed Tirpitz.

“Indeed, it was hard to judge before because there was no reference point. Compared to you today, I’m incredibly stupid.”

Eugen echoed.

"kindness?"

Black Dragon looked at Prince Eugen, and she felt something was off.

"If you don't have intelligence, you probably wouldn't want to fight in close combat."

Helena expressed her disagreement.

"Even if you have intelligence, it's useless if you can't control the Sirens."

Cleveland shrugs.

"Personally, I think the diversification of behavior might be due to biological instincts?"

Belfast conducted an analysis.

Belfast's intervention immediately complicated the topic, and everyone else fell silent.

The group continued onward and soon arrived at their destination.

Chapter Thirty-Six: Old Friends

The architectural style of Beilian is very different from that of Donghuang. The buildings here are symmetrical along the central axis, with the middle being higher and the sides lower. Although they are just ordinary houses, they can give Heifeilong a novel feeling.

The island surrounding this port area has a large amount of very obvious defensive military equipment, while green trees and other things are divided into many sections and placed in the middle of the port area, making the entire port area look like a fortress.

"..."

After landing on the island, Black Dragon stroked his chin and observed the port area. This place seemed more like a place where he could confront the Sirens head-on than the Free Port.

There were no ship girls loitering at the port dock, and Black Flying Dragon waited for a while before someone appeared.

"Welcome! We sent a team to greet you earlier, but it seems we didn't meet you."

This is a tall, silver-haired ship girl dressed similarly to the Soviets, but with relatively revealing clothing. Although her tone is very easygoing, her demeanor is very composed.

"It's alright, this is the cargo for this trip."
