Crossing the azure as a black dragon

"I understand the situation. Are the other port areas that are under lockdown still pretending to be dead?"

Black Dragon sorted through the intelligence and casually asked.

"Now that everyone has joined the battle, the results are not good. If too many fleets are sent out, the port will be in danger."

Nagato shook her head.

"..."

Black Dragon was starting to have a headache. A Siren uprising had broken out in the Eastern Empire. The Free Port had enough combat power to cooperate with other ports to suppress the Sirens, but this port was not up to the task.

If Shinano were still alive, the Sirens wouldn't dare to act so recklessly. But the current situation is that Shinano is nowhere to be found, and the Sakura Empire's homeland still needs Amagi's help to deal with it. In the current state, she would believe anyone who said the Sakura Empire's front line had been breached tomorrow.

Ultimately, why is the defense of a major maritime power so poor?

She simply couldn't understand it.

"Hmm, the situation is indeed tricky. Do you gentlemen have any solutions?"

Black Dragon couldn't come up with any solutions for such a large-scale situation, so he looked at Mikasa and Hosho, who were both very experienced and shouldn't be at a loss.

As expected, Mikasa smiled easily.

"It's actually quite simple. Although the Sirens seem rampant and aggressive now, they have awakened all the ports within our territory this time. We can take advantage of this opportunity to wipe out the Sirens. The losses may be significant, but victory will definitely be ours!"

Mikasa crossed her arms and nodded in agreement as she spoke.

"Oh, this."

Black Dragon's words sounded strange, but they also seemed to make sense.

"We are currently facing a shortage of manpower. If we can invite a group of foreign aid, we can probably buy Tiancheng and the others some more time."

Unlike Mikasa, Hosho chose to maintain the status quo.

"Foreign aid, huh?"

Black Dragon remembered that Wales had said she could ask her for help through official channels, but the situation here was really not good, and she didn't really want the Free Port to get involved.

What do you think?

Nagato did not react to the two's statements, which was probably a conclusion he had already reached before.

"I personally agree with Mikasa's suggestion, but even if we want to retaliate, we need some time to communicate. The problem we are facing now is that there are 'too many' Sirens. If we can reduce the number of Sirens, that should be enough."

Black Dragon wanted to go for a walk.

"But even for you, it would be difficult to do something like this in a short time."

Nagato understood what Black Flying Dragon meant and did not stop him.

Shinano emphasized the importance of the port area, and she took the advice. Since arriving here, she has not gone out to sea once. However, the port area's combat strength is currently very sufficient, and even if the Sirens attack, they will not gain any advantage.

In that case... it would be good to spare some resources to help other ports, right?

"It might be a bit difficult, but we can give it a try."

Black Dragon did some mental calculations and concluded that if he didn't linger in the fight, there shouldn't be any major problems.

"Great! That's how young people should be. Do you need any help?"

Mikasa patted Black Dragon on the shoulder happily; it had been a long time since anyone had acknowledged her combat skills.

"Yes, I need someone to give me the coordinates."

Black Dragon was honest; she didn't want to get lost again.

"No problem, Canglong can take on the role."

Without a second thought, Mikasa's expression froze.

"Also, if the port area can help with the reconnaissance, the efficiency will be greatly improved. I'll leave this to Mikasa-senpai."

Black Dragon spoke again.

"Uh, I only recently returned to Sakura Empire, so that's possible..."

Mikasa's expression also froze.

"I will handle the communication, you can rest assured."

Nagato smiled as he watched the black dragon give orders.

If Shinano or Amagi had attended this meeting, they might have had some countermeasures, but they certainly wouldn't have made such a delightful statement as Black Flying Dragon's.

"Okay, I'll be right back."

Black Flying Dragon stood up and winked at Azure Dragon. Azure Dragon understood and the two walked out of the council chamber.

"Are you really going?"

Upon arriving outside the main hall, Canglong looked at Heifeilong with some concern.

"Don't worry, the Sirens are no match for me."

Black Dragon answered with a light laugh.

The Sakura Empire's situation is really unbearable to watch, and there's also...

How could she tolerate a horde of mass-produced sirens daring to act arrogantly in front of her?

"I understand. Remember to act within your limits."

Azure Dragon watched yesterday's exercise and confirmed that Black Flying Dragon indeed had the ability to launch an attack alone.

The two returned to the living room of Tiancheng's private residence and turned on the satellite monitoring system.

There are now even more battlegrounds, making it dizzying.

"The scope is the entire territory; try to choose areas with a high concentration of Sirens."

Black Dragon exchanged contact information with Azure Dragon and gave him a word of advice.

Canglong adjusted his glasses and used the control device to lock the view of one screen onto the black dragon.

"I'll be here. I'll leave the rest to you."

Black Dragon walked to the edge of the main screen and pointed to the battlefield closest to the port area.

"learn."

Azure Dragon responded, his voice coming through the communicator.

Black Dragon made a grasping motion in the air and drew out a long sword that emitted a shimmering blue light. Snowflakes appeared out of thin air and surrounded Black Dragon.

"I'm off." With that, Black Dragon waved his hand and disappeared from the living room.

On the main screen map, a dot is flashing. The screen that locks onto the black dragon went black and then lit up again, showing a battlefield.

Azure Dragon was startled by Black Flying Dragon's movement, but quickly recovered and used the control device to locate the most intense battlefield, informing Black Flying Dragon via the communicator.

……

This is not a calm sea. Just now, a battle took place here. However, now, only the slowly sinking wreckage of the Sirens and the somewhat bewildered ship girls remain on the surface.

"What...was that just now?"

One of the ship girls looked at her companion with some uncertainty in her voice.

"ghost?"

The ship girl next to her had obviously seen it too, and her tone was quite strange.

"Stop standing around, clean up the battlefield and get back to work!"

The ship girl leading the group shouted, snapping everyone out of their daze.

Dozens of nautical miles away, a figure appeared on the sea. A large number of blue snowflakes swirled rapidly around the figure, obscuring its appearance and size.

"Next is..."

A sound was heard, and a coordinate report was given.

Black Dragon's eyes sharpened, and it accelerated into the spatial passage, instantly appearing in a battlefield.

Carrier-based aircraft were engaged in a fierce attack in the gray sky, the sound of artillery fire rang out, and the flashes of fire illuminated the slightly gloomy sky. The ship girls and the sirens were at war.

"Who are you?!" Black Dragon was surveying his surroundings when a voice demanded from behind him.

As Black Dragon turned around, she saw a White Eagle destroyer nervously aiming its main gun at her, with more ship girls conducting artillery fire in the distance behind her.

"A passerby..."

Black Flying Dragon answered with a slight smile, but before he could finish speaking, he vanished.

"!?"

The girl was startled and tried to escape, but her attention was drawn to the sudden burst of explosions. Looking up into the distance, she saw that the mass-produced sirens that had been fighting them on the sea surface looked as if they had been attacked by something terrifying. Their hulls were covered with abnormal damage, such as penetrations, claw marks, and smooth cuts. Then they exploded, and the dense explosions even ignited the nearby sea surface.

The burning sea was reflected in the girl's pupils, deeply shocking the White Eagle destroyer.

The sudden end of the battle left the surrounding ship girls somewhat bewildered. However, they were unaware that the same 'incident' was happening again on a more distant battlefield.

In less than an hour, the number of Sirens that had swept across the entire Sakura Empire's sea area was reduced to less than 20% of its original size, and ominous words such as 'ghost' and 'beast' began to appear in various ports of Sakura Empire.

At the Sakura Port area dock, a young girl is slowly landing.

Chapter Sixty-Eight: Not in Control of One's Own Fate

After arriving at the port area, Black Flying Dragon leisurely strolled back to the vicinity of Tiancheng's private residence.

Welcome back.

Azure Dragon was leaning against the doorway, gazing at the sky, when it saw Black Flying Dragon and came to greet it.

"I am back."

Black Flying Dragon reached out and touched his bangs before the two entered the entrance hall.

"From our perspective, this operation was a great success. However, the sudden appearance of such a powerful individual is bound to attract attention from all sides."

Upon entering the living room, Canglong poured a cup of hot tea for Heifeilong. He then looked at the main screen, noting that there were very few places still in battle, and most of the sea had fallen silent.

"It's alright, just throw out Shinano's name. Anyway, she hasn't appeared in front of the world yet."

Black Flying Dragon blew on the steam floating on the cup and said casually.
