Crossing the azure as a black dragon

"I'm sorry, I've caused you all trouble."

Upon hearing this, Shinano raised his hand to cover half of his face with his sleeve and apologized with some remorse.

After a long period of exploration, she realized that this was a side effect of peering into the realm of time. She could not personally participate in battles that could influence history, and even with the greatest power, she could only rely on others.

"That idiot was just joking, Shinano, don't worry about him."

Black Flying Dragon glared at White Dragon, and White Dragon immediately shut up and became obedient.

"It's alright, let's begin."

Shinano shook his head, offering no defense for himself.

"Be very careful."

Black Flying Dragon gave another instruction, then waved his hand, sending more than a dozen miniature components flying out of the void. They combined to form a door, and with a flash of electricity, a turbulent sea appeared on the other side of the door.

"You should also be careful."

The Tosa was the first to enter the door. After the ship's equipment touched the water, it quickly gathered and began to patrol the surrounding area.

The others followed one after another into the room, and the study immediately fell silent.

"Go."

Amagi, who was standing to the side, rolled up the map and handed it to Black Flying Dragon.

"Ah."

Black Dragon took the map, stepped back, and merged into the space.

……

Stepping out of the space tunnel, the Black Flying Dragon, standing high in the sky, saw a carrier battle group sailing on the sea, including three aircraft carriers, eight missile cruisers, fifteen missile destroyers, ten frigates, and five supply ships. The frigates were scattered around the aircraft carriers, leaving trails of white waves on the sea, which was exceptionally spectacular.

In addition, the more than 300 ship girls who had arrived were divided into four groups and surrounded the carrier battle group, including destroyers for reconnaissance and anti-submarine warfare, light and heavy cruisers on both sides for escort, and the carrier group and battlecruiser group in the center.

With such a massive southern expeditionary force, plus herself, it was as if she were declaring war on the entire Australian continent. She was confident that she could annex the other side into the territory of Donghuang.

Before Black Flying Dragon could even utter her grand ambitions, she was warned by the anti-aircraft frigate below and ordered to slow down and land, or else she would be shot down.

"Uh."

The Black Dragon descended somewhat awkwardly, landing on the deck of the middle aircraft carrier. The soldiers on duty nearby were stunned when they saw the Black Dragon descend from the sky.

If it weren't for the fact that the data clearly indicates it's a ship girl, this action alone would make one wonder whether its true form is a warship or an aircraft.

Soon, a young soldier jogged out from the island superstructure and led Black Dragon into the command room.

There were about a dozen people in military uniforms in the command room. When they saw Black Flying Dragon enter, they immediately stood up and saluted. They then indicated that the fleet and personnel were in position and ready to participate in the operation at any time.

"Yes, I understand. This operation is our first direct counterattack against the Sirens, so we must fight with great momentum and let them know that times have changed!"

"Then, I have prepared our navigation route in advance. You can choose from it and proceed. Besides, I am not good at commanding. Everything will be handled by the original command personnel."

Black Dragon coughed lightly, glanced at the officers present, delivered a pre-battle declaration, and returned the authority to them.

"learn!"

The others were very accommodating, solemnly agreeing to Black Dragon's statement, and then took the map to study it.

Seeing that there was nothing more for her to do, Black Dragon left the command room and briefly toured the island's structure. When she returned, the route had been determined: first, head south to the Philippines to meet up with the intelligence personnel, then open a portal to bring in the army, while they would head directly to Malaysia after opening the portal to join the advance team and the resistance forces.

This is a protracted battle, and their enemies are not just the Sirens; they need to advance step by step.

After hearing the arrangements, Black Flying Dragon left the island superstructure and enjoyed the sea breeze on the deck.

"Something feels off."

Heifeilong greeted the escorting ship girls beside him and stroked his chin. Although this trip was to eliminate the Sirens, the Eastern Empire's high command suddenly agreed to go south to support Australia, which seriously conflicted with their previous cautious approach.

"Never mind, they probably have other motives."

After thinking for a while, Black Dragon also gave up.

Chapter 43 Rescue (2)

Whoosh!

The waves crashed against the side of the warship and bounced back, making a continuous, somewhat noisy sound, but Black Dragon didn't mind.

"too slow."

Looking up at the sun already high in the sky, Black Flying Dragon, standing at the forefront of the aircraft carrier deck, couldn't help but frown.

They had been gone for over four hours and had only just reached the defensive border of Donghuang. The efficiency was incredibly low. At this rate, even if the Sirens didn't interfere, it would take at least a week to reach Australia. With the Sirens as an unpredictable factor, that time would be extended indefinitely.

This is bad. Before even engaging in combat, Black Dragon felt that they had lost the initiative. If this continued, they would be in a terrible situation.

"That won't do."

Black Flying Dragon rubbed his chin, lost in thought.

"report!"

A strong voice interrupted Black Dragon's thoughts. She turned around and saw a young communications soldier standing behind her with a firm gaze, showing no negative emotions despite his superior being a ship girl.

Black Flying Dragon returned the salute, indicating his respect.

Fang spoke frankly.

"The fleet is about to leave the safe waters. Captain, please proceed to the meeting."

"That's what the communications officer said."

"I'll be right there, thank you for your trouble."

Black Flying Dragon grunted and followed the communications officer into the island superstructure.

Several staff officers and the captain in the command post were discussing something when they saw the Black Flying Dragon and immediately stood up to salute.

Black Dragon returned the greeting and casually took out a laptop from his spatial storage: "This computer will sync the Sirens intelligence I've gathered."

As she spoke, Black Dragon opened her notebook, which displayed the images obtained from her radar reconnaissance.

"Of course, I can only detect a portion of the Siren models. There may be even deeper dangers lurking within. Please be aware of this."

Black Flying Dragon handed the notebook to an advisor and gave him some instructions.

"clear."

The staff officer nodded in agreement, then connected the image from his laptop to the large screen and began taking notes.

Black Dragon was also looking at the big screen. Her radar had been fully upgraded by Mio from that world, and the highest accuracy observation diameter had been increased to eight hundred nautical miles, so the image displayed on the screen was now amazing.

The fleet was positioned on the dividing line between Donghuang and Australia. To the north of this line were green dots, while to the south were densely packed red dots of varying sizes, turning one sea area into two worlds.

"The Sirens are so densely distributed, and... this is a Sirens stronghold beneath the sea?"

Someone examined the images and discovered that these Sirens were distributed at different altitudes, and even multiple Sirens appeared in the same location. A rough estimate suggests that the number of Sirens in just these four hundred nautical miles was several times that of their fleet on this trip.

The young captain's expression gradually turned serious as he watched the fluctuating parameters on the screen. This support mission was more dangerous than he had imagined; they had to break through the Siren's defensive line.

One of the staff officers did the calculations and planned the easiest route to break through. Someone reported this to their superiors, and the rest of the staff gathered together to discuss it.

"I have a proposal."

Looking at the busy crowd, Black Flying Dragon raised his hand and spoke.

"Please speak."

The captain stopped his discussion and looked at the black dragon.

“Our actions have certainly been known to the Sirens long ago, but we know nothing about their marching plans. Rather than being forced into a passive defensive posture, I’m preparing to… What do you think?”

Black Dragon spread his hands and explained the situation, finally leaving the decision to the group.

"This plan is too risky; we need to think about it."

The captain and several staff officers looked surprised and were unsure what to do.

Black Dragon didn't press further, pulled up a chair and sat down, waiting for their answer.

Soon, the captain, having communicated with headquarters, gave a reply: "Please be extremely careful."

"Ah."

Black Flying Dragon responded calmly and walked out of the command post.

After a brief stop for lunch, the fleet slowly passed through the defensive line set up by Donghuang and disappeared from the sight of the defending ship girls.

……

Originating from the East, a massive fleet consisting of an aircraft carrier group and a ship girl escort team slowly moved forward. The pressure of an impending encounter with a powerful enemy weighed heavily on everyone. Despite its enormous size, the fleet was eerily quiet.

Standing at the very front of the destroyer's deck, the cold sea breeze made the hem of Black Flying Dragon's clothes rustle.

"almost."

The black dragon, which had been keeping its eyes closed, opened them. Starlight condensed around it, transforming into jet-black ship armor. A large number of black fighter jets of unknown models took off from the deck, and in the blink of an eye, more than a hundred of them flew off in all directions.

After releasing the fighter jets, Black Dragon swept his right hand in the air, and dozens of virtual light screens suddenly appeared. The images displayed on the light screens were the Sirens' strongholds hidden deep in the sea.

Let's start here.

After a moment's thought, the black dragon gently swept across the light screen from left to right.

"Wow! What is this!?"

Beneath the fleet, a red twin-tailed iron-blooded submarine riding a fish-shaped propulsion device was on a deep-sea reconnaissance mission when a dull, collapsing sound suddenly came from the seabed, startling her.

Soon after, large amounts of bubbles carrying sewage and unidentified debris rose to the surface of the sea, forcing her to avoid the area.

"what happened?"

A cold, questioning voice came from U1206's ear.

"I don't know, suddenly the seabed... Ah!"

Just as the little guy was about to answer, he suddenly saw a streamlined black fighter jet descend from the sky and plunge into the deep sea. A series of flashes of light appeared, illuminating the dark seabed.

"What exactly happened?"
