Crossing the azure as a black dragon

Page 50

Black Dragon was somewhat surprised; hearing about the Eastern Empire's festival coming from the mouth of White Eagle's ship felt a little strange.

"Yes, the Mid-Autumn Festival is a big holiday in Donghuang, and there are also related celebrations in the port area. It's great!"

Cleveland gave a thumbs up.

“Prince Eugen, you must have come all this way because the festival is coming soon.”

Helena looked at the two people in front of her.

"Humph."

Prince Eugen remained silent.

"So arrogant."

Black Flying Dragon chuckled to himself.

The group chatted as they walked, quickly moving away from the land. Black Dragon once again deployed reconnaissance aircraft for surveillance.

They didn't encounter many sirens on the way, and soon the black dragon found the lost clothes and package on the island where it had spent the night the previous night.

After a short rest, Tirpitz led his team back, aiming to reach Donghuang territory before nightfall.

"Sirens were spotted 50 nautical miles to the right; there were six odd-shaped ones in total."

During the day, the field of vision is wider, and the black dragon's reconnaissance range can also be extended further.

"trend?"

Tirpitz's eyes flickered slightly.

"It's heading diagonally towards us and will meet us soon."

Black Dragon answered.

"Okay, you go and act as bait to distract them, and we'll find an opportunity to sink them."

Tirpitz made his judgment quickly.

"...?"

Black Flying Dragon tilted her head. In previous battles, it was always destroyers and light cruisers that acted as bait. Why was it her turn this time?

"I'll keep the clothes for now."

Belfast very considerately leaned closer.

"Thank you."

Black Dragon didn't say much, handed the package to Belfast, and charged forward with his sword.

"Isn't this going too far?"

Cleveland frowned as he looked at Tirpitz.

"Black Dragon's close-range combat ability is extremely strong; we cannot waste such talent."

Tirpitz spoke calmly.

"Companies would be very happy to team up with Black Dragon."

Cleveland sighed.

Only those who are very confident in themselves will choose to engage the Sirens in close combat. Since the Sirens observe by sight, having someone to restrain them at close range is extremely beneficial to the other ship girls traveling with them.

The price is that the ship girl sent to hold them off will most likely get injured.

"Let's go, let's finish this quickly."

Tirpitz didn't say anything more, turned around and followed the black dragon.

……

Odd-shaped sirens look similar to elite monsters in the game, but they are very weak, lacking any extraordinary abilities and even inferior to ordinary mass-produced sirens.

Of the six oddities that Black Dragon discovered this time, one seems to have reconnaissance abilities, as it was detected when Black Dragon was thirty nautical miles away from them.

Three of the six sirens have tentacles, and all three attack with torpedoes. Their ship rigs also fire black shells, making them similar to destroyers overall.

There are also two sirens with fish fins on their bodies. They are faster than the others, and their attack method is the same as that of the warship sirens. They are very weak.

Finally, there's a siren with a lantern hanging from its head. The lantern on its head can emit energy beams, and the ship's equipment has strong anti-air capabilities.

"Could this mess of things be an experimental unit of the Sirens?"

Black Flying Dragon dodged the attacks and used its carrier-based aircraft to launch harassing attacks.

"Being distracted during battle is not a good habit!"

Just then, Black Dragon heard a strange woman's voice coming from not far behind her.

"!"

The black dragon leaped away from the water like a rabbit, turning to look at the direction from which the sound came.

There stood a girl with short, curly white hair. She wasn't dressed much; only something resembling scales covered her vital parts. If you removed her somewhat transparent tail, she would look exactly like a human.

Most importantly, this woman was not equipped with any ship gear. At this moment, she was standing on the sea, smiling as she looked at the Black Flying Dragon, her eyes full of anticipation.

"..."

Black Flying Dragon's eyes turned cold, and he strode forward, slashing down with his sword.

Hey~

The long sword struck the air, producing a metallic clang.

"An extremely powerful attack."

The girl looked at the long sword in front of her, her tone very calm.

Suddenly, Black Flying Dragon felt the immense force emanating from the blade, which forced her to retreat a distance.

Looking at the girl again, there were now many people beside her.

The ship's rigging, in the same dark color as crab claws, had long metal claws surrounding the girl. One of the claws in front of her had a very deep scar, almost severing the claw.

"Black Flying Dragon, get out of the way!"

Tirpitz's voice came through the communicator on the black dragon's body, and the black dragon subconsciously turned away from the girl.

Boom boom boom!

The distant shells whistled as they landed on the girl's ship rigging, creating a tremendous impact that pushed the Black Dragon a considerable distance.

As the smoke cleared, the girl vanished, leaving behind only fragments of black ship rigging.

"Be careful when you come back, this siren can mimic."

Tirpitz's voice rang out again. The black dragon glanced at the strange siren who had stopped its juggling in the distance, and cautiously approached Tirpitz and the others.

"you…"

A voice came from behind Black Dragon again. She swung her sword backhand, and a huge sword aura, as solid as a physical object, slashed down. The powerful force even tore through the seawater, forming huge waves that pushed Black Dragon a considerable distance. The girl fell silent before she could finish speaking.

"Serves you right for scaring me."

Black Flying Dragon glanced at the spot where her sword energy had struck, only seeing a large expanse of red seawater and a small piece of metal fragments, which were quickly washed away by the surging seawater.

When she first saw the girl, she was prepared to capture her alive. However, she didn't expect that her ship equipment could block the slashes and prevent casualties. She created an opening and killed the girl directly.

"That's so exaggerated."

Cleveland, watching the black dragon from afar, was speechless with astonishment.

She had asked Black Dragon if it could kill Sirens with a slash attack before, but she hadn't taken it seriously then. This time, she finally saw it directly.

When that slash came down, it felt like nothing could stop it.

Tirpitz reached out and touched his naval cap without saying a word, while Prince Eugen seemed to have seen a novel toy.

"This siren must have scared me this morning; it's a pity I couldn't capture it alive."

After reuniting with the others, Black Dragon said with some regret.

"It's alright. These sirens are troublesome. It's easier to just kill them directly."

Tirpitz shook his head slightly.

"I think so too."

Black Dragon nodded.

"It's dangerous here, let's go."

Tirpitz turned and left.

Black Dragon and the others followed, and soon left the area.
