Crossing the azure as a black dragon

Chapter Seventy-Three: A Brief Account of the Island

What was that just now?

On the calm sea, Black Flying Dragon stood with an unnatural expression. From the perspective of the reconnaissance plane circling high in the sky, the neutral zone had returned to calm.

Just now, she sensed a powerful creature approaching, and if they actually fought, she wasn't sure she could leave unharmed.

"Could it be the research result of the pro-war faction?"

Black Dragon frowned. She had caught a glimpse of a hand out of the corner of her eye, and that creature was very likely also humanoid, since the Sirens seemed to prefer humanoid forms.

To be a little bolder, could it be that the Siren, the pro-war faction, are also experimenting with meta-compatibility?

Or perhaps, it was an experiment left behind by the observer, as described by 'Mio'?

After thinking for a while, Black Dragon sighed helplessly and prepared to leave.

She knew too little about the Sirens and had no idea what they were hiding in the deep sea.

"Fei...Zi...Can you hear me?"

The communicator, which had been silent, suddenly responded, and Canglong's voice came through amidst the static.

"I can hear you. It's been resolved here. How's the situation on your end?"

Black Dragon took out his communicator and asked.

"Is that so... Our strike force has made contact with the Sirens. The Sirens are still increasing in number. We can handle this."

"

Relieved to receive a response, the Azure Dragon then gave a report.

"Don't let your guard down, keep an eye on the situation around the port area, I'll be back soon."

Black Flying Dragon narrowed his eyes, warily surveying his surroundings.

The fog did not hold her back, nor did the Sirens retreat, which shows that the Sirens' target was not just her.

Suddenly, the communicator vibrated; a call was coming from Wales.

"I'll hang up now, someone's calling."

Black Dragon said something to Azure Dragon, then hung up and connected with Wales: "It's me, where are you now?"

"We're outside the neutral zone. There seemed to be something inside the neutral zone just now?"

Wales's steady voice came through.

"You're leading the team personally? What an honor! Please wait a moment, I'll be right there."

Black Dragon was somewhat surprised that Wales had actually come on his own for this operation, which showed how seriously he took the matter.

Moreover, this place is quite far from the Freeport area; I'd estimate that Wales set off yesterday after speaking with me.

"Are you alone? Where's the boat?"

Wales noticed something was wrong.

"Let's talk when we meet."

Black Dragon looked at the indicator icon on the communicator. Wales, to her southwest, warily scanned the surrounding sea before opening a spatial channel and leaving the spot.

On an island in the territory of Donghuang, a blonde woman stood near the sea and looked straight ahead. Behind her, several ship girls were resting, and further away, several ship girl patrol teams were on guard.

"It really happened."

Wales put down his phone and muttered to himself.

After sending Eugen home yesterday, she organized a team to come over. She was worried about the timeframe given by Tiancheng. She had contacted all the ports near the neutral zone. If a single transport ship appeared in the territory, it would be seized directly to ensure that things would not be delayed.

"what happened?"

A silver-haired woman with an incredibly hot figure, dressed in winter clothes, walked over. Her voice was very soft, and it was a pleasant sound to hear.

"There might be a discrepancy; we'll know once the Black Dragon arrives."

Wales looked at Radiance. She hadn't planned to bring Radiance along, but Radiance somehow found out about Black Dragon's call and followed her alone, without telling Victory and Formidable.

"Is that so? It seems Black Dragon is quite busy in Sakura Empire."

Radiance reached out and brushed aside a stray strand of hair, then stepped over to Wales' side.

Wales shrugged upon hearing this, then rested his chin on his hand: "That mist that suddenly appeared and disappeared just now, it also appeared once when the Black Dragon went to Sakura Empire, what exactly was that?"

Guanghui didn't answer; she didn't know either.

"Ah! Sister Long!?"

Suddenly, a gasp came from behind them. Turning around, they saw that there was another person on the island, standing next to Yuudachi. The gasp came from Yuudachi.

"Yes, everyone, thank you for waiting."

Black Flying Dragon reached out and placed her hand on Yuudachi's head; the familiar touch made her feel nostalgic.

"Sister Long, you're a liar!"

Yuudachi reached out and hugged the black dragon's waist, calling out somewhat petulantly.

"Yes, yes, I'm a liar."

Black Dragon unconsciously smiled and put his hand on Yuudachi's shoulder.

"Where did you come from? You scared me to death!"

Not far away, Santiago was sitting on the ground, clutching the back of his head, and yelling loudly.

"The reconnaissance plane just happened to spot you and came straight over. Compared to this, the White Eagles have already finished their business?"

Black Dragon gave a brief explanation, then turned his gaze to Minneapolis, who was sitting cross-legged to the side.

Aside from Minneapolis, Birmingham and Shangri-La are also included; all three of them previously went to White Eagle.

"It's not finished yet. We just came back early. The company finished up and they were coming back today, so we came to pick them up."

Minneapolis shrugs.

“That’s good. Santiago was so worried that you guys were losing sleep.”

Black Dragon nodded.

"I was very worried, but I still slept very well!"

Santiago retorted loudly.

After refuting Santiago, he grumbled, "In the end, it's because they didn't take me with them, otherwise they would have come back long ago."

Minneapolis rested his chin on his hand, watching Santiago mutter to himself with a helpless expression.

"Alright, that's enough of the greetings for now. Black Dragon, where's that ship you mentioned?"

Wales and Glory walked over.

It sank.

Black Dragon answered.

"You did this?"

Wales frowned.

"How could that be? They were killed by the monster in the fog. I only saved one."

As Black Dragon spoke, he took out the storage cube.

She was telling the truth. If the transport ship arrived safely in Donghuang, she wouldn't take action. But if something went wrong, she wouldn't bother saving so many people. Tiancheng's enemies were inside; if they died, they died.

As they were talking, Black Dragon activated the Rubik's Cube, and blue starlight gathered on the beach next to them to form the shape of a door. Not long after, the man in the suit sauntered out of it.

"Can a Rubik's Cube hold a person?"

Wales looked at the man in the suit with some surprise; she really hadn't expected this use of the word.

"I'll give it a try too. How does it feel inside?"

Black Dragon retrieved the Rubik's Cube, drew a knife from the void, and held it to the man in the suit's neck.

"...just like a normal room."

With a knife to his neck, the man in the suit wasn't as scared as one might expect. He glanced at the blade and then calmly began to straighten his clothes.

"That's about it. You can take it back."

Black Flying Dragon tilted its head to look at Wales. This guy wasn't afraid of ship girls at all; he was only acting like that before because he was afraid of things in the fog.

Sirens kill, ship girls don't.

"Pity."

Wales shook his head slightly; if there was only one person, the information obtained would be less.

Seeing that the two men were ignoring him, the man in the suit quietly slipped his hand inside his suit jacket, and then with a thud, he collapsed straight onto the beach.

Guanghui smiled and withdrew his hand.

"I've delivered the person, I should go now, the Sakura Empire is waiting for me."

Black Flying Dragon twitched his brow, then calmly sheathed his sword and said.

"So fast?"

Santiago stopped talking and looked up at the black dragon.

"Would you like to visit over there? It's quite beautiful."

Black Flying Dragon said with a smile.

"Well, I'll let it go this time, but I'll definitely go next time."

Santiago hesitated for a moment, then declined.

"no problem."
