Crossing the azure as a black dragon

At the very front of the group, Warspite voiced her speculation, and at the same time, the tip of her knight's longsword created ripples on the sea that spread outwards.

"Interesting. I didn't expect there to be such a warm-up area before the mission officially begins."

Beside Warspite, New Jersey, dressed exactly as she had when she met Black Dragon, wore a happy smile, a stark contrast to the worried expressions of the others.

"Don't be careless. The Sirens' attacks will be extremely fierce in this specific environment."

The company glanced at her side slightly and offered a reminder.

“That’s absolutely right, but cowering will only allow the Sirens to take full advantage of their terrain. Before they can gather together, we should take the initiative and disrupt their plans.”

New Jersey nodded repeatedly, then raised her voice so that all the ship girls present could hear her.

"Of course, I'd love to have some fun with the Sirens again after all this time, but we can't keep the Black Dragon waiting for us too long. Let's finish this quickly."

After saying New Jersey, he paused and then added a sentence.

"..."

The somewhat chaotic scene immediately quieted down, and many people were surprised by New Jersey's statement.

"Indeed, it would be foolish to simply wait for the Sirens to attack. The best course of action is to actively find the Sirens' weaknesses and leave this place."

Someone took over the speech from New Jersey, and their calm tone was reassuring.

“I agree. The Sirens seem to think they have us cornered. They’ve really underestimated us.”

Hood, who was standing calmly behind Wales, spoke.

"Okay! Since everyone thinks so, let's set off. Don't fall behind!"

New Jersey snapped his fingers, randomly chose a direction, and started moving.

.

"Let's go."

The company glanced back at Cleveland and the others, then followed New Jersey.

"Haha, what a reckless team leader."

A ship girl with long red hair, dressed in a white naval uniform, laughed heartily beside Cleveland and followed her.

"There are many suspicious things underwater. Haven't any submarines followed us in?"

Warspite did not immediately follow New Jersey, but instead joined forces with Hood, Wales, and others.

"It's confirmed. The submarine didn't get in, and communication is restricted here. If they're separated, it will be very difficult to reunite."

Prince Eugen moved closer to Bismarck and answered Warspite's question.

"Really? Well, we'll have to go with them."

Warspite looked at Hood.

"No, I'll stay here. You all go ahead."

Hood tightened his gloves and glanced at everyone present as he spoke.

Do you think the Black Dragon will follow us in?

Wales instantly understood Hood's thoughts.

"Yes, the fog covers a large area, and it's impossible for the Sakura Empire not to be able to detect it. If the Black Dragon enters without guidance, it might cause trouble."

Hu De nodded.

"As expected of Senior Hood, but leave the task of waiting for Black Dragon to me. We'll need you to command the battle."

Upon hearing this, Ke Wei took two steps forward, a slight smile on his face, and said to Hu De.

"It's only a possibility that Black Dragon will come in. If she doesn't, you'll be in great danger."

Hude looked at Kewei. She had naturally heard the rumors that Kewei and Black Dragon were friends. In this situation, she was indeed more suitable to receive Black Dragon than herself.

"If she doesn't come in, please remember to criticize her for me after you leave."

"It's terrifying how calmly he said."

"That's terrible, we'll be going now."

Eugen glanced at Formidable, waved, and followed Bismarck and his group.

"Okay, be careful."

Hu De nodded. New Jersey and the others had already run quite far. If they didn't catch up with them soon, they would fall behind.

"If we are attacked and can't hold out any longer, then come after us."

Wales said to the formidable.

She received a message from Black Dragon about twenty minutes ago. She believed that Black Dragon would definitely come over given the scale of the fog.

"Yes, I know."

He responded obediently and skillfully.

Wales did not linger and, along with Hood and the others, turned and followed Bismarck's group.

Soon, only two people remained.

"Hermione, aren't you coming over?"

Kewei glanced at the maid who was standing guard beside him.

"Hmm, I'm worried that Miss Formidable, you've given Black Dragon the wrong directions."

Hermione smiled.

"How could I possibly make such a basic mistake?"

Kewei muttered something under his breath.

Chapter 104 A True Defeat

Obscured by the mist, Black Dragon closed his eyes, wanting to carefully sense the mist's teleportation technology, but quickly opened them again, somewhat puzzled.

"Strange, why can't I sense any fluctuations in space?"

Black Dragon reached out to touch the mist, but failed. The mist dissipated at an incredible speed, and at the same time, the sound of seawater colliding reached her ears, as if some large animal was playing in the water.

The moment the mist vanished, a massive shadow enveloped the Black Dragon. When the Black Dragon looked up, a black tail, pieced together from mechanical parts and radiating a metallic aura, swept towards her. Compared to this tail, she looked as small as a child.

boom!

The metal tail slammed into the sea, creating a splash more than ten meters high. A figure was also launched into the air at the same time, flying nearly a hundred meters away. After hitting the water, the figure tumbled several times, and its disheveled appearance would surely have elicited laughter if seen by others.

After rolling several times on the water's surface, Black Dragon finally managed to steady himself and stand up. His clothes, which he had only worn a few days ago, were torn by the protrusions of the mechanical joints. His hands trembled slightly as they hung at his sides, and red liquid dripped uncontrollably onto the sea surface.

The water droplets made a pleasant sound as they fell onto the sea, but Black Dragon was in a terrible mood because she had seen something truly outrageous.

About several dozen meters in front of where she had just landed, there was a small island. On the island stood a creature covered in black metal, resembling a Western dragon. Its huge mechanical wings spread nearly a hundred meters wide, and just standing there was enough to inspire fear.

Just as the black dragon was sizing up the giant dragon, the mechanical dragon also noticed the black dragon, tilting its head to look at the little one, as if wondering why it hadn't killed her in one go.

"What kind of shady stuff are the Sirens researching?"

Seeing the mechanical dragon looking over, the black dragon turned and left. She had come to rescue people; there was no need to play with this kind of monster.

However, the mechanical dragon had no intention of letting the black dragon go. It flapped its wings and took off, the massive airflow causing the rocks on the island to tremble, and a shadow once again loomed over the black dragon.

"..."

Black Dragon was in a bad mood, but she didn't want to get entangled with this thing right now. She endured the pain, drew her sword, cut open a space, and went straight inside.

Seeing the black dragon suddenly disappear, the mechanical dragon carefully examined the spot where it had vanished with its crimson-glowing eyes, then flapped its wings and took flight to the right.

They caught up with them.

On the other side, Black Flying Dragon emerged from the tunnel, activating his full detection capabilities. He took in the situation within a hundred miles, and his expression grew even more gloomy.

She discovered that the dragon was chasing after her, and besides the dragon, there were countless other high-energy reactions, some hidden in the island, some underwater, and some on the surface of the sea like the dragon. Most importantly, there were no ship girls reacting nearby.

That is, the fog just now didn't teleport her together with the other ship girls who came in.

"I almost got killed when the door opened. Was it Mio who opened the door for me?"

Black Dragon complained, reached into the storage cube, took out a bandage, and wrapped it around her hand. After absorbing the berserk dragon, her physical fitness had also improved. Just now, fearing that the dragon would break her knife, she used her hand to protect her head and block it. The result was quite good; it was just a superficial injury.

"I hope everyone else is alright."

After quickly treating its wounds, the Black Dragon tore open the tunnel again and appeared a hundred miles away. After surveying the area, it disappeared once more.

"No...no, it's not here either."

In just ten minutes, Black Dragon checked the surrounding area within a thousand miles, but there was no reaction from the ship girls at all. She couldn't even find the area with spatial fluctuations. She even began to suspect that this place might be another spatial cage, and that the wisp of mist earlier was not Mio's interference but a trap set for her by the pro-war Sirens, just like in New Jersey before.

'Roar! '

Just as the black dragon was drawing the map, a dragon roar came from afar, followed by the cry of some unknown creature. It seemed that the mechanical dragon was fighting with other experimental creatures.

"Tsk."

Black Dragon put away the map. If she couldn't find New Jersey and the others, she was determined to kill everyone in the area before finding an exit.

……

In the dark space, a small flame illuminated a patch of the surrounding area.

"Miss Fearless, we should leave now."

Hermione's voice rang out, and if you listened carefully, you could hear a faint echo.

"We can't leave now, cough cough."

A terrifying sound rang out, accompanied by a cough.

The faint firelight illuminated the two of them. Hermione was still wearing her neat maid outfit, but it wasn't the same one as before. She was kneeling on one knee next to Fearless, holding Fearless's right hand.

"We were too careless. This is not the world we are familiar with at all. Those creatures... I hope Lord Hood can leave this world safely."

Kewei leaned against a rock, his face deathly pale. Although his clothes were neat, the bandages were clearly visible in the areas not covered by his clothes.

“Miss Formidable, it’s too early to give up now. Perhaps the Black Dragon really has come in, but just hasn’t found us yet.”
