Crossing the azure as a black dragon

"Now!"

The outer-line ship girls, who had been looking for an opportunity, seized it. Taking advantage of the weakening of the Sirens' air power, a large number of bombers and torpedo bombers entered the fray, directly tearing a gap in the encirclement.

The ship girls in the encirclement seized the opportunity, broke through the gap, and sped towards the warship, quickly escaping the battle zone.

Boom boom boom!

After these ship girls withdrew from the battlefield, the group of ship girls that suddenly appeared began to break out in all directions. Together with the ship girls on the outer perimeter and those gradually approaching the free port area, their numbers began to be comparable to the mass-produced Sirens.

In the exchange of fire, the mass-produced sirens were hit by shells like targets, and the sound of explosions on the hulls was as frequent as firecrackers, with billowing black smoke almost obscuring all the light.

Having realized the situation, the remaining sirens stopped approaching and turned to retreat.

"The situation has changed too quickly."

Black Dragon watched the entire battle from the sidelines, somewhat astonished.

The two commanders' actions were truly amazing; by combining Rubik's Cube technology and resources, they completely outmaneuvered the Sirens.

"The battlefield is ever-changing."

Flying Eagle took a breath and said softly.

"Yes."

Black Flying Dragon nodded; only today did she truly understand the meaning of those words.

Soon, Kaohsiung and the others returned. All three of them were injured, but not seriously.

The group ran together toward the warship.

"I won, but I lost a lot of money."

Looking at his own ship girl with a tired face next to the warship, Kong Ping sighed.

"You brought this on yourself. While the port is being repaired, you and your ship girls can stay at my place."

Xiao Tianran pursed his lips and said.

"Brothers."

Kong Ping reached out and put his arm around Xiao Tianran's shoulder.

"I'm here for this battle. Don't stand me up next time I'm besieged by the Sirens!"

Xiao Tianran reached out and pried the hand off his shoulder.

"No problem, no problem."

Kong Ping grinned, revealing his pearly white teeth.

"The Sirens have been repelled this time, but they are very likely to come back. You must be careful."

Amagi looked up at the two laughing and joking people.

"Okay, good luck to you too, we're waiting for your good news."

Xiao Tianran waved to Tiancheng.

"kindness."

Amagi responded and walked alongside the returning Black Flying Dragon and the others.

"The battle is over, let's go back."

Tiancheng looked at the Black Flying Dragon and said.

"kindness."

Black Dragon nodded. Although she hadn't contributed much to the battle, she was already very satisfied to have witnessed the two commanders' performance.

Chapter Seventy-Five: A Disturbed Dream

After the great battle, Black Dragon accompanied Sky City and his group back to the Free Port.

The mission was over, and Black Dragon relaxed considerably. Looking at Sky City walking alone ahead, she thought for a moment and sped up to catch up.

"Amagi, you said there were a few things to take care of before going to Sakura Empire. Is today's matter among them?"

After traveling with Tiancheng, Heifeilong asked.

"Well, I guess so."

Amagi snapped out of his thoughts and answered softly.

"There are still a few days left. Tell me about anything else, maybe I can help."

Black Flying Dragon licked his lips. Today's events were clearly a scheme set up by Tiancheng and her group, exchanging Kong Ran's empty port district for the Sirens' current world coordinates.

"Hehe, I appreciate your kindness, but you don't need to participate in the following matters, so I won't trouble you."

Tiancheng chuckled softly and politely declined Black Flying Dragon's offer.

"Oh, I see. I heard that the next expedition will begin in about two weeks. I wonder if anyone from the Sakura Empire will be participating?"

Black Dragon wasn't embarrassed at all and changed the subject to continue asking questions.

"I'll tell you the details once we get to Sakura Empire."

This question was also pushed away by Amagi.

"Then... do you think it's necessary for me to participate in this expedition?"

Black Flying Dragon tilted its head and stared at Sky City.

"Didn't the royal family invite you? If there's nothing important, then go ahead and attend."

This time, Tiancheng provided the answer.

"Then I'll participate."

The black dragon returned to its original position with satisfaction.

"Black Flying Dragon, you seem to really like Tiancheng. We are your seniors. Ah, you can ask us if you have any questions."

Seeing Black Flying Dragon's smug expression, Flying Eagle couldn't help but tease him.

"The questions I asked Tiancheng were rather personal, requiring the wisdom of a wise man like Tiancheng to answer them."

I've clarified things; if I have any questions about combat, I'll definitely ask you all.

Black Dragon answered honestly.

"Haha."

Flying Eagle and the others couldn't help but laugh when they heard this answer, and even Amagi couldn't help but chuckle.

The group returned to the Freeport area in a relaxed atmosphere.

Black Dragon didn't lose many fighter jets this time, so he didn't go to the armory to resupply. After parting ways with Tiancheng and the others, he headed home.

"...Should we participate in the exercise?"

Arriving near home, Black Dragon heard ship girls discussing something nearby, and his expression brightened.

"exercise?"

Black Flying Dragon stroked her chin; she hadn't heard about it when she left.

Just then, a Cleveland came walking straight ahead and ran into the Black Dragon at Helena's door.

"You've worked hard on the mission."

Cleveland made the first move.

"I'm just there to keep up the pace, not as a participant. I just got back and I think I heard something about an exercise. Is there some kind of event going on?"

Black Dragon put his hands in his pockets and asked.

"You already know? An hour ago, the office received a message that a commander would be bringing ship girls to our port for a friendly exercise."

Cleveland said, shrugging.

"We're conducting exercises with other port areas."

Black Flying Dragon thought of the Flying Dragon she had practiced with one-on-one.

"Yes, and it's said that the ship girls who perform well in this exercise will have the opportunity to be selected to participate in the expedition."

Cleveland nodded.

"Oh? So you and Helena will be participating too?"

Black Flying Dragon raised an eyebrow.

"Yes, if I could participate in the expedition, I could fight alongside you again."

Cleveland said with a smile.

"That's a huge exaggeration. I wish you all the best in your endeavors."

Black Dragon waved his hand.

After the two finished talking, Cleveland knocked on the door and went into the room with Helena, while Black Dragon returned to his own home.

"I'm fine fighting the Sirens, but I'd pass on the exercise."

Black Dragon was very self-aware. After changing his attack clothes into casual clothes, taking a shower, he lay on a recliner, ready to continue his morning nap.

Having failed to earn any money on this voyage, Black Dragon closed his eyes and pondered what mission he could complete in his spare time these next few days to replenish his savings.

She didn't care about spending money, but Yuudachi was a huge eater. She could eat the equivalent of three Black Flying Dragons' worth of food by herself, and she felt like she was going to be eaten out of house and home.

"Yudachi was supposed to be back for the mission he gave out yesterday, but I hope it's not in the early morning."

Black Dragon began to mutter to itself leisurely.

ding dong~

Just as Black Flying Dragon was about to fall asleep, the doorbell rang, waking her up.

"..."

Black Flying Dragon frowned deeply; the feeling of being just one step away was extremely unpleasant.

The doorbell rang twice more. Black Flying Dragon reluctantly opened his eyes, got up, and went to the door to open it.
