Crossing the azure as a black dragon

Feilong shook his head.

"It's getting late, I should head back now. You two need to keep up the good work, and I hope to have the opportunity to fight alongside you in the future."

Black Flying Dragon put away its ship equipment and said.

"I will definitely beat you next time."

The dragon roared.

"Next time is uncertain, let's go."

Black Flying Dragon responded and beckoned Yuudachi to leave, and the students made room for the two of them.

"Please wait a moment."

The teacher who was waiting there called out to the two of them.

"Is there something you need?"

Black Flying Dragon looked at the teacher with sharp eyes and a somewhat cold tone.

Are you from the Freeport area?

The teacher felt the black dragon's gaze, stopped in his tracks, and asked.

"kindness."

Black Dragon nodded.

"The team that the school sent out for practical training this morning lost contact not long ago. I hope you can help me find them."

The teacher quickly said.

"Lost contact?"

Black Flying Dragon frowned, looked down at Yuudachi, and Yuudachi nodded.

"Tell me about the team's situation, and we'll head over right away."

This falls under the category of rescue missions, and port regulations stipulate that such missions must be carried out immediately.

"The team leaders are three retired ship girls. There are twelve students in total, and fifteen ship girls are going out by boat."

The teacher provided the information.

"I see."

Hearing the number of ship girls, Black Dragon felt a little relieved. With this number of ship girls, they might not necessarily be defeated even if they encountered the Sirens.

The two deployed their ship equipment and left the school from the sea. Students who heard the news wanted to join the rescue operation, but were stopped by their teachers. Their current task was to accumulate experience, not to fight.

"Yuudachi, go find Belfast and the others. I'll go look for them first."

Black Dragon lowered his head and said.

"Uh-huh."

Yuudachi was very obedient and turned to run towards the harbor.

"..."

After Yuudachi left, Black Dragon launched a reconnaissance aircraft and headed off into the distance.

Chapter 44 TTK, One Self-Touch TTK

Black Dragon launched a reconnaissance plane and began searching in the direction indicated by the intelligence. Along the way, it saw many other ship girl teams also searching, but none of them made any significant discoveries.

"Could it have run off to the deep sea?"

The reconnaissance aircraft had a wide detection range, and in less than half an hour, the Black Flying Dragon had searched the entire activity area designated by the combat team.

Even though it's an internship, the safety of the commander and ship girls is ensured as much as possible, and they generally won't go to the deep sea.

"..."

Black Dragon paused on the sea surface for a moment, then took out her communicator.

Because she hasn't been proactive enough, her only contact person so far is the Prince of Wales.

One.

After thinking for a moment, she put the communicator back. The Prince of Wales and Hood had gone to make diplomatic exchanges with other countries, so it was best not to disturb her.

Leaving a reconnaissance plane behind to wait for Yuudachi and the others, Black Flying Dragon left the near-shore area.

Since that major cleanup, the number of Sirens in Donghuang has decreased sharply. Black Flying Dragon ran fifty nautical miles away before discovering the first Siren team. It was a six-person team imitator. Their appearance was almost identical to that of ship girls, but their ship equipment was ridiculously advanced. It was obvious at a glance that they were not one of their own.

"Imitator?"

Black Dragon frowned, paused for a moment, and then released the bombers.

Bang bang bang!

The imitator immediately attacked the plane upon spotting it in the sky, its simple attack pattern leaving the Black Dragon speechless.

Black Dragon did not annihilate the squad; she used her aircraft to distract them and then bypassed them.

Half an hour later, Black Dragon spotted a large area of ​​ship wreckage floating on the sea from the perspective of the reconnaissance plane. Based on this, Black Dragon searched carefully and finally found a ship girl waving to the reconnaissance plane for help on a nearby island.

"How did I get here?"

Black Dragon couldn't help but gasp. That location was about four hundred nautical miles from the naval academy, which was relatively deep water.

The area was some distance from the Black Dragon, so she didn't go there directly. Instead, she used a reconnaissance plane to search the nearby sea area. Strangely, she didn't find any swarms of Sirens.

"I feel like I've run into some trouble."

Black Dragon muttered something under his breath and sped up to reach the island.

The island is not large, only about a thousand square meters. There are two small hills in the middle, surrounded by weeds, so it is relatively secluded.

After arriving at the island, a while later, a ship girl emerged from the jungle. She was a pink-haired girl with a large bust, wearing a blue uniform. She was not in good condition at the time, as her arms and legs were injured, and the torn parts of her clothes were tightly bound with bandages.

"Are you a ship girl from the naval academy?"

Black Dragon did not know the name of that city.

"Yes, are you here for rescue?"

Quincy looked at the ship girl in front of her. Although there was only one person, she exuded a strong aura, which was very similar to a certain aircraft carrier of the White Eagle that she had seen in the past.

"Yes, I'm in the advance team. Others will be here soon. Are you alone here?"

Black Flying Dragon responded with a question.

Quincy shook his head and made way. Black Flying Dragon saw five boys emerging from the jungle. Their once neat white school uniforms were now tattered, and almost everyone was injured. Two of them had bandages wrapped around their heads, and one of them had his eyes covered by bandages.

Black Flying Dragon found the expressions on the boys' faces somewhat familiar; they were the same expressions he had when he first met Xiaoyue and the others.

"...What did you encounter?"

Black Dragon's gaze swept over the group, finally settling on Quincy.

“We were originally looking for the Sirens near the safe zone to give everyone some real combat experience. On the way, we approached an island and were just about to land when the island emitted a bright light. When we came to our senses, we had been teleported to the deep sea. While we were trying to find our location and return route, we were ambushed by the Sirens. Everyone was scattered. I only brought these few children with me.”

Quincy's dejected mood illustrates the process.

"I understand. Just point me in a direction and I'll go find the others."

The black dragon remained calm. This intern team had encountered a Siren teleportation point and was then transported to this vicinity.

“We were separated over there. Why don’t you wait for the rescue team to arrive before going? The sirens over there are very agile, unlike the sirens we’ve encountered before.”

Quincy pointed to the deeper waters, then glanced at Black Dragon and whispered a suggestion.

"Okay, you can hide here. A rescue team will be here soon. I'll clear out the sirens in the vicinity."

Black Dragon reached out and patted Quincy on the shoulder, whispering to her not to wander around, before turning and leaving the island.

"Mr. Quincy,"

After Black Dragon left, the other little guys surrounded him. Quincy whispered to them and then returned to the jungle.

……

"Beep beep... This is Wales, what can I do for you?"

After leaving the island, Black Dragon immediately called the Prince of Wales.

"I am Black Dragon. I have discovered equipment that appears to be a Siren teleportation point. Some naval academy students have been ambushed by the Sirens. Would you be able to communicate with the people in the port area?"

"Black Flying Dragon said."

"Hiss... I understand. Send me the coordinates."

Wales on the other end took a breath and immediately became serious.

Black Dragon hung up the phone and sent the coordinates to the Prince of Wales; they were the coordinates of Quincy's island.

Before long, a group of ship girls arrived from nearby and took Quincy and a few other little ones away from the island. They then began exploring the location where the Black Dragon had left.

"A battle took place here."

By this time, Black Dragon had reached deeper waters. She discovered several destroyed Siren warships through her reconnaissance aircraft, but was unable to obtain any further information.

Neither sirens nor ship girls are powered by oil, so they don't leave any particularly noticeable traces. Even if a large number of sirens are sunk, they will soon return to their original state after being washed away by seawater.

This is what makes the ocean so terrifying.

.

boom!

As Black Dragon was contemplating which way to go, twelve Siren warships suddenly surfaced from the water more than ten nautical miles away and began to bombard her.

"!?"

The sudden attack forced the Black Dragon to dodge. Cannonballs rained down, and large jets of water surged up. Three cannonballs hit the Black Dragon.

"Tsk."

The impact of the exploding shells propelled Black Dragon dozens of meters, and its hands, which were supporting the ship's equipment, went numb.

Surprisingly, the Sirens did not press their advantage after the successful attack, but instead dived back into the sea. When the Black Dragon's carrier-based aircraft arrived, they could only see the seawater.
