Crossing the azure as a black dragon

"I'm going out for a bit, remember to clean the room."

After taking a breath of fresh air, Black Dragon turned to Yuudachi in the room and spoke.

"understood!"

Yuudachi, who was folding the quilt, answered upon hearing the sound.

Black Dragon nodded with satisfaction, put on his shoes, walked down the corridor, passed through the courtyard and the grove, and arrived near the main hall. He did not encounter Azure Dragon along the way, wondering if they had left via different routes.

"Wales hasn't replied yet, is he angry?"

Walking along the cobblestone path between the mansions, Black Dragon took out her phone and glanced at it. Half an hour had passed since she sent the message, and Wales still hadn't replied, which felt a bit strange.

This support operation represents both the Eastern Empire and the White Eagle. The White Eagle is naturally represented by the Enterprises group, mainly from New Jersey, while the Freeport Zone represents the Eastern Empire... which is a bit strange, as it is led by the Royal Navy and includes ship girls from other factions. Therefore, Wales also participated in this operation.

Thinking of the Eagle Union ship girls, Black Dragon frowned slightly. Enterprise's commander was still serving in Eagle Union, and Enterprise had a high reputation in the Freeport District. Without Enterprise here, Eagle Union's request for help would likely be ignored by others. In addition, for this operation, Eagle Union did not even send anyone. Just New Jersey and Enterprise's group represented Eagle Union's will.

"It must have been a coincidence."

Black Flying Dragon shook his head. Even Tiancheng couldn't possibly predict things several years from now. He probably overheard Tiancheng's speculations about humanity yesterday, which made him a bit overly sensitive.

As he pondered, the black dragon arrived at the corner of the path, a T-shaped fork in the road. Both the left and right paths led to the entrance, differing only in distance; the design was quite subtle.

"Your Highness Black Dragon!"

From a distance in the left passage, Yamashiro, dressed in a black kimono embroidered with flowers and birds, appeared around another corner looking somewhat flustered. Upon seeing the Black Flying Dragon, she shouted and jogged over.

"What's wrong? Why are you in such a panic?"

Hei Feilong put away his phone and quickly joined Shancheng.

"Please look at this."

Yamashiro took out a report from his sleeve and handed it to Black Flying Dragon.

Black Flying Dragon took the paper and glanced at the signature. It was a report from ten minutes ago, from a patrol fleet at the border. The report stated that a large area of ​​fog had appeared in the territory of Donghuang, obscuring a large area of ​​the sea.

Have you seen Tiancheng?

Black Flying Dragon glanced at it, took a deep breath, and asked.

"I've already checked, Lord Amagi is making arrangements."

Shancheng nodded quickly.

"Okay, I'll head over now. Be careful."

Black Flying Dragon returned the report to Mountain City and patted her on the shoulder.

"Yes, you too, please be careful."

Yamashiro took two steps back and bowed to Black Flying Dragon.

Black Flying Dragon nodded, her right hand making a grasping motion in the air to draw out a long sword that emitted blue stardust. The blade sliced ​​through the air, and an unstable passage appeared beside her.

"..."

Black Flying Dragon turned and glanced in the direction where Yuudachi was, then hopped into the tunnel.

'Snapped! '

With the sound of a heavy object hitting the water, the Black Flying Dragon appeared on a vast sea. Its ship equipment instantly solidified, ensuring that it could float on the water.

Feeling the raindrops falling on his body, Black Flying Dragon looked up at the sky. The gray sky was drizzling, giving people a sense of oppression.

"Troublesome weather."

Muttering to himself, Black Flying Dragon determined its direction, swung its blade, sliced ​​through space, and disappeared from the spot.

……

Within the buffer zone between Sakura Empire and Eastern Empire, a group of Sakura Empire ship girls gazed at the distant, overwhelming fog, somewhat at a loss.

"Lord Amagi hasn't figured out a way to deal with the fog yet. Are we just going to watch the Sirens wreak havoc like this?"

On the sea, a ship girl with a red ponytail looked at the mist, wanting to get closer but not daring to.

"It's alright. Lord Shinano broke through this fog earlier. We've already sent out a distress signal, and that lord is definitely on his way."

Not far away, a slightly petite ship girl spoke up. Despite encountering such an unreasonable tactic from the Sirens, her expression remained calm, and her red eyes kept observing the situation around the mist.

“Zhuifeng is right. These mists don’t dare to come close to this area. They must be afraid of the big shots in the port.”

The speaker was a girl with a topknot and wearing a light red kimono-style dress. She was surrounded by small white origami-like airplanes, and the reconnaissance planes circling high in the sky were her creations.

There were two ship girls nearby. Although they didn't say anything, their expressions suggested that they agreed with what Chasefu and Shoho had said.

After all, the fog in front of them kept spreading to the left and right, but they couldn't get close to the Sakura Empire, which was obviously suspicious.

"what?"

Suddenly, Xiangfeng sensed something was amiss and quickly took control of the reconnaissance plane to observe carefully.

"what happened?"

Yili looked at Xiangfeng.

"Um, the fog seems to be thinning?"

Xiangfeng said somewhat uncertainly.

"It's not just a feeling, it's already starting to dissipate."

Zhui Feng's tone was very certain.

"Oh no, what should we do? We've only been back with the report for less than ten minutes."

Yi Li seemed somewhat at a loss.

As they spoke, the fog had thinned considerably, and the distant sunlight shone through the mist onto the sea, indicating that the blockade had been lifted.

Suddenly, a massive black and red sword aura swept past them from a distance and plunged directly into the mist. The moment it touched the mist, the sword aura made a crisp cracking sound as if it had struck something, and space seemed to shatter, creating a huge gap. Through the gap, they could see a scene different from the real world, like another world altogether.

It was a gloomy world, the sky shrouded in dark clouds.

The entire world was shrouded in darkness, devoid of any sign of life. The seawater was a deep blue, and faint, chilling black shadows could be seen passing by underwater.

"what is that?"

Xiangfeng opened her eyes wide; her reconnaissance plane was still in the sky, so she could see most clearly.

Unfortunately, the breach healed itself in less than a second, preventing the acquisition of any further information.

"Damn it, am I too late?"

Several miles away, Black Flying Dragon gritted his teeth as he watched the dissipating mist.

The main world's spatial self-healing ability is too strong. A tunnel opened by her by shattering space with powerful force cannot exist for long. In addition, with the superposition of space, she simply cannot clear a passable tunnel in an instant.

"hiss."

Black Flying Dragon sheathed his longsword, took a deep breath, adjusted his mindset, and focused his gaze on the group of ship girls on guard in the distance before stepping closer.

"So strong!"

Looking at the spot where the sword energy and the mist had collided, Zhui Feng's usually calm face showed a slight change in expression.

"It's Lord Black Dragon!"

Xiangfeng spotted the approaching black dragon and told her companions.

Soon, the black dragon rejoined the team.

"Hello, could you tell me what happened here?"

Black Flying Dragon greeted the group and asked directly.

"Yes, we patrolled the area not long ago and noticed fog starting to appear over the Eastern Empire about ten minutes ago. We reported this and did not see any other ship girls or vessels approaching during that time."

Chasing Wind calmly reported to Black Flying Dragon.

"I see. Thank you for your hard work. I'll take over here. You can continue your patrols."

Black Dragon was in a bad mood, but he didn't show it outwardly.

"Yes, thank you."

Zhui Feng responded to Hei Feilong, then turned and left the scene with his accomplices.

"..."

Watching the group leave, Hei Feilong looked again at the spot where the mist had dissipated, her expression very complicated. She had actually messed things up because of drinking.

Suddenly, Black Dragon's vision blurred as a very thin wisp of mist rose from the sea not far away, not spreading but remaining in that small area.

"This is…"

Black Dragon's heart stirred, and without hesitation, she rushed over. The wisp of mist coiled around Black Dragon's body like a living thing, absorbing the energy she unintentionally emitted and gradually growing stronger, eventually enveloping her until they both disappeared.

……

This is a dark space, with the deep blue sea stretching to the horizon. Mist, like the wind, appears and disappears, bringing new travelers to this world.

"here it is…"

"what happened?"

The ship girls, who had suddenly appeared in this space, cautiously scanned the unfamiliar environment and whispered among themselves.

"This fog is spreading so fast, no wonder even Black Dragon felt it was very dangerous."

Among the crowd, the Prince of Wales seemed lost in thought.

"Even though she's a bit slow-witted, she can sense danger from anything... How do we get out of here?"

Not far from Wales, the fearsome woman, dressed in a black and white dress, patted her chest and muttered a few words. Carrier-based aircraft took off from the deck runway and scattered to conduct reconnaissance.

Not only was it formidable, but the other aircraft carriers present also immediately launched reconnaissance aircraft for vigilance, and the ship girls of other ship types also began to spread out to conduct reconnaissance and adjust their formations.

Although they were not ambushed by the Sirens, vigilance is necessary in such an unfamiliar world.

"This is probably a mirrored sea area where the Sirens are hiding. Finding the control panel might be the way out."
