Crossing the azure as a black dragon

Some. "

Yi Xian thought for a moment and then said.

"can."

Count Spee said OK.

"Is it just me and Spee this time?"

Black Dragon found an opportunity to ask.

"If anyone along the way wants to join, they can come along too."

Yi Xian revealed a strange smile.

"Uh, I understand."

Black Dragon blinked.

"Then I'll go prepare my lesson. Good luck to you two."

After discussing it, Yixian also walked out of the classroom.

"Let's go too."

Count Spee nodded to the black dragon and walked out of the classroom, with the black dragon following closely behind.

The ship girls outside have already been assigned to teams. The entire class consists of 24 people, including 16 destroyers and 8 light cruisers, who are evenly distributed among the four teams.

Standing at the very front of the procession is the flagship.

“Going to sea is different from exercising. Sirens may attack us from anywhere. We must remain vigilant at sea. Safety is the most important thing.”

"Black Dragon and I will only accompany you on your journey. If you encounter Sirens along the way, you will have to deal with them yourselves."

Count Spee walked up to the students and raised his voice.

"understand!"

The ship girls agreed wholeheartedly.

"Then let's set off."

Count Spee said nothing and nodded to the black dragon.

"Let's go."

Black Flying Dragon walked in front of the students and headed towards the main path, followed neatly by the ship girls behind him.

Chapter Thirteen Transition

"Not only are there few ships from the defeated Sakura Empire, but there are also very few in the schools."

Walking on the main road, Black Flying Dragon recalled what he had seen at the school earlier, and he hardly saw any Sakura Empire ships.

The student group following behind her now consists mostly of Eagle Union ships, with the rest being Royal Navy and Ironblood ships. There isn't a single Sakura Empire ship, which is quite strange.

While pondering, Black Dragon led his team to the residential area. It was still early, and many ship girls were doing their morning exercises or taking a walk. Black Dragon's team attracted a lot of attention.

wow~

Suddenly, the leaves of a large tree by the roadside began to shake wildly, and then a figure leaped out from it, landing lightly in front of the black dragon.

"I should be involved in this mission."

Royal Ark pointed at the black dragon, his tone firm.

"Take the branch off your head first."

Black Dragon glanced at the Royal Ark; his arrival was not unexpected.

"Oh, can I come with you?"

Embarrassed, Royal Ark removed the branch tied to its head and tossed it aside.

"Sure, but don't cause trouble for the destroyers."

Black Flying Dragon did not refuse, after all, Yi Xian had given instructions.

"Okay! Don't worry!"

Royal Ark gave a thumbs up.

"No one else should be coming, right?"

Black Flying Dragon looked back at the group. The group, which had been neat and orderly when they set off, was now a chaotic mess, resembling a picnic.

"Hey, Sister Long? Where are you going?"

As Black Dragon turned around, he happened to pass by an intersection. Yuudachi and Santiago were buying snacks at a convenience store there, and Black Dragon hadn't noticed them because they had been hidden by the corner.

"Yixian asked me to lead a team on a trip."

Black Dragon bowed its head in response.

"I want to go too!"

Yuudachi put the snacks back in the shop and ran to Black Dragon's side.

"Sigh~ I'll go too."

Santiago blinked and came closer.

"..."

Seeing the growing number of people, Black Dragon sensed something was wrong.

The group continued onward, and as they passed the Royal Courtyard, Belfast was watering the plants in the courtyard when he looked up and saw the Black Dragon.

"Oh, do you need any help?"

Belfast was somewhat surprised and came over to ask.

"Thank you, we have enough people."

Black Flying Dragon resolutely refused.

She felt that if she agreed, there would definitely be more than one person coming here, and she didn't want it to be like last time, with more than twenty interns and more than ten people holding the fort.

She didn't prepare a lunchbox this time.

"Really? What a pity."

Belfast wasn't angry and smiled as she saw Black Dragon and his party off.

Black Flying Dragon breathed a sigh of relief and sped up to reach the dock.

The weather was pretty good today; the sun was shining directly on the pier, making it quite dazzling.

Eugen was sunbathing on a recliner outside the Ironblood Conference warehouse when he heard footsteps and slightly opened his eyes, immediately spotting the Black Dragon.

Good morning.

The black dragon waved and greeted them.

"Okay, keep it up."

Eugen glanced at the line, saw Count Spee, calmly said something, and closed his eyes again.

Eugen didn't mention it, and Black Dragon naturally didn't say anything more. She glanced back at the group.

The group, which had been a chaotic mess, split into four neat teams on the dock.

"According to the original plan, we were to head north directly after setting sail, patrol around the area, and then return. However, with the addition of the aircraft carrier Black Dragon, we have to add an escort mission. Do you understand?"

Count Spee walked from the back of the line to the front and raised his voice.

"understand!"

The four flagships provided an answer.

"Let's go."

Earl Spee looked

Towards the Black Flying Dragon.

Black Flying Dragon nodded, unfolded its ship equipment, and left the dock, with the others following in succession.

After setting off, the team changed formation as they moved, surrounding the Black Dragon in the middle while maintaining a certain distance. Santiago and Yuudachi followed beside the Black Dragon, Count Spee led the way at the front of the team, and Royal Ark brought up the rear.

Although they were being escorted, Black Dragon still released some carrier-based aircraft to circle around them as a precaution.

As the group headed north, they encountered many fishing boats and other vessels anchored on the sea, giving the ocean a more lively appearance.

These scenes, which were already commonplace for Black Dragon and the others, were quite novel to the new ship girls. Several destroyers tentatively waved to the crew on the fishing boat, and they waved back to the crew.

Encountering patrolling ship girls means you won't be attacked by Sirens here, and most people are happy to see ship girls at sea.

Count Spee had excellent directional control, always moving outwards while leading the fleet, but frequently making minor adjustments to keep the position at the edge of a safe sea area, a position where sirens rarely approached and safety was guaranteed.

After running for two hours, the team turned around and left the safe waters.

From this point on, there was a slight danger. Because the radar had been handed over to Akashi for research, Black Dragon became a little more serious and had the reconnaissance planes circle around.

"Is the mission just to come out and run back? That's a bit boring."

Santiago complained somewhat discontentedly.

"Isn't that how patrols always go?"

Black Flying Dragon smiled.

"That's why I don't like patrol duties!"

Santiago smacked his lips.

"I'll make you something delicious when we get back."

Black Dragon thought for a moment and then said.

"Really?"

Santiago immediately perked up.
