Crossing the azure as a black dragon

"Uh, could it be that there are some particularly powerful Sirens over there that they need to guard?"

Black Dragon blinked.

"No, according to them, there seems to be a hidden research group in the frozen land. The information is not clear at the moment, but it is certain that the organization is very skilled in the use of the Rubik's Cube energy."

Bismarck gave the black dragon a strange look and said.

"Oh, so Shinano and the others want to use me to lure out this organization?"

Black Dragon understood.

"That seems to be the case for now. If you have time in the future, you can go and take a look at Beilian."

Bismarck said.

"That's no problem. I'd also like to visit the permafrost lands."

Black Dragon said it wasn't a big problem.

"Ah."

Bismarck nodded.

"Is there anything else?"

Black Flying Dragon responded and then asked.

"The situation on White Eagle's side is a bit troublesome. Enterprise and the others probably won't be able to return for a while. The meeting for this operation will be held tonight."

Eugen spoke up from the side.

"So fast."

Black Dragon was somewhat surprised.

"While we are taking action, the sirens are also taking action. It is also good for us to disrupt their plans as early as possible."

Bismarck said.

"Makes sense."

Black Dragon nodded.

After chatting for a while, Black Flying Dragon left the conference room.

I don't have much of an opinion on the rumors about Black Dragon spreading in Shinano. The ship girls of the Northern Alliance are warlike, but they can't possibly come here to challenge her, can they?

After wandering around outside for a while, Black Dragon went home to prepare lunch.

After returning home, Yuudachi ate lunch and took a nap before running out again, displaying an energy that even Black Dragon envied.

It would be too tiring for her to be out partying all day long.

Time flew by and it was already seven o'clock in the afternoon. Black Flying Dragon was washing the dinner dishes in the kitchen.

ding dong~

The doorbell rang.

"coming!"

Yuudachi rushed out of the living room and opened the bedroom door.

Is Black Dragon home?

Wales' voice came from the doorway.

"A meeting?"

Black dragon peeks out from the kitchen.

"Yes, I'd like to trouble you to go over there."

Wales patted Yuudachi's head, walked in, and said.

"Wait a minute."

Black Dragon quickly finished cleaning up the dishes and followed Wales out the door.

It is already late autumn, and it is already dark at seven o'clock. The bright moon is slowly rising.

"I heard from Eugen that you drank too much again last night?"

Looking up at the sky, Black Dragon casually remarked.

"Ahem, don't make it sound like I often sleep through drunken nights, okay?"

Wales was taken aback by Black Dragon's unexpected remark.

"Haha, sorry, sorry, but how much did you drink to make you so drunk you couldn't get up the next day?"

Black Dragon apologized first, then asked his question.

"I didn't say much, mainly because Eugen can drink too much, he's no match for me."

Wales sighed.

"Oh~"

Black Dragon understood.

"I'm serious. You'll see when you try it with her someday."

Wales didn't bother with the Black Dragon.

"I'm not going."

Black Dragon doesn't like to drink alcohol.

"cut."

Wales grimaced.

The two chatted as they arrived at the conference room of the office building.

Chapter Twenty-One: Taking a Walk

Pushing open the meeting door, the familiar conference table appeared before Black Flying Dragon's eyes, but unlike the previous two times, there were many more people attending the meeting this time.

Both Amagi and Akagi Kaga made an appearance. After the morning's exchange, Akagi seemed to have lost interest in the Black Dragon and simply sat quietly next to Amagi.

"Everyone is here. I will now give a briefing on the operation."

Hood remained seated in the main seat, but stood up when he saw Black Dragon enter.

This is supposed to be the port area of ​​the Eastern Empire, but the ship girls of the Royal Navy have the most say, which is quite strange.

After Black Dragon took his seat, Wales also found a place to sit down.

"The scope of this operation is very large, so we need to divide the battlefield according to the distribution of the Sirens. Please see the large map."

Hood and Belfast exchanged a glance. The latter walked to the side and opened the conference room's map system. A projection that looked spherical from a distance but was actually a flat map up close appeared in the center of the conference table.

This projection shows the entire sea area of ​​Donghuang. The side closer to the land has been lit up with the Sirens icon. There are a few places in the remaining sea area marked with Sirens, but the vast majority of places are not marked.

"This is a distribution map of the Sirens based on a combination of information gathered by the Black Dragon recently. Our target this time is this area closer to land. Please feel free to share your thoughts."

After giving a basic explanation, Hu De relinquished the right to speak.

How many port areas are involved in this battle?

Eugen, sitting to Bismarck's right, asked a question.

"All commanders within the operational area will participate in this operation. We are merely the initiators of this operation; the real main attack will be on the local port area."

Hud answered.

Has an evacuation notice been issued?

Washington looked at Hood.

The companies took away many of the White Eagles' main warships, but a few remained to oversee the overall situation. In addition to Washington, the White Eagles also included Colorado and Lexington at this meeting.

"We notified all the commanders yesterday, and I presume it has been implemented. Our royal elite troops have also arrived at their respective positions and are on standby."

Hu De nodded and added his own comment.

"With such thorough preparations, the battle plan must have already been finalized."

Kaga raised his eyes slightly and spoke.

Hood waved slightly, and Belfast took out a stack of documents and distributed a copy to everyone present.

Black Dragon opened and browsed through the document after receiving it.

In the Royal Navy's planned operation, the combat roles of the participating ship girls were clearly defined: submarines were responsible for attacking the underwater Siren bases; destroyers patrolled the surrounding area to prevent fishing boats from approaching the combat zone; light cruisers were tasked with scouting and containing the Sirens; heavy cruisers and battleships were responsible for the main attack; and aircraft carriers, after gaining air superiority, would divide the battlefield and clear out any Sirens attempting to approach.

The battlefield is ever-changing, and it is impossible to predict all the changes before the battle. In addition, since the main attack this time was led by other commanders, the draft document did not specify any tactics.

“Mass-produced sirens are not strong; each unit can easily handle the situation by fulfilling its responsibilities. What we need to pay attention to is the deeper-level sirens support.”

After reviewing the documents, Hu De and the others present spoke again.

Did anyone else know about this operation beforehand?

Tiancheng put down the document and asked.

"Logically speaking, no one outside the participating parties should know this."

Hood narrowed his eyes slightly.

"The Sirens in this operation are not strong, but we cannot be careless. Perhaps we can observe the Sirens' response mechanism."

Eugen said from the side.

"Indeed, this is a great opportunity."

Kaga continued Eugen's words.

"In that case, let's assign one observer to each team."

Hu De nodded.

"Besides..."
