Crossing the azure as a black dragon

"These sirens have thicker armor than the imitators, but their attack methods are clearly limited, so they don't seem to pose much of a danger at the moment."

Not far from New Jersey, Shangri-La is exchanging ideas with businesses.

"Have all the data from those mechanical organisms been collected?"

The businessman reached out and pressed down his navy cap, asking calmly.

"We've gathered some information. As mechanical life forms, they've inherited some of the customs of living beings. They will attack enemies that intrude into their territory. Their mobility and offensive capabilities far surpass those of destroyers and submarines. Other information is unclear because we've only had a short time to contact them."

Shangri-La answered.

Because the battle was against an unknown individual Siren, destroyers and other ship types did not advance but instead defended on the outermost layer. The main attacking force consisted of battlecruisers, battleships, and aircraft carriers inside the defensive perimeter, so the intelligence was not particularly accurate.

"Yes, these two types of sirens may encounter us in the present world in the future, and this information is very important."

The company nodded, then looked toward the other two camps.

The ship girls present were mainly from the Eagle Union, Royal Navy, and Ironblood factions. The three factions advanced in a triangular formation, with the Eagle Union faction led by New Jersey at the forefront, while the other two factions lagged slightly behind.

"We've encountered two different Sirens in such a short time. This place is more dangerous than we imagined."

Within the Royal Navy, Warspite, Hood, and others gathered together for a discussion.

"Indeed, if these Sirens hadn't been operating according to certain rules, we would probably have been in danger long ago. Even so, our situation would still be dire. If a more advanced Sirens were to appear, our chances of defeat would be quite high."

Hu De maintained a steady speed on the sea, her eyebrows slightly furrowed, and expressed her thoughts.

"This space is much larger than we expected. The chances of finding an exit by blindly moving forward are very small. Perhaps we need to prepare for a protracted battle."

Wales also expressed his opinion.

Many Royal Navy ship girls participated in this support activity, but only a few were qualified to serve as flagships.

In this environment, the first thing the three of them need to do is protect the fighting strength of their own camp. Only with sufficient fighting strength can they meet the unknown challenges.

"Well, let's follow that New Jersey guy for now. If things get out of control, we'll make other plans."

Hood nodded, his gaze falling on New Jersey, who was at the very front.

She had to admit that this legendary ship girl from the White Eagles did indeed possess a unique charm, and perhaps by following her and her group, they could truly leave this space.

While this discussion was taking place, thousands of miles away, a white figure standing on the sea made a move.

……

Outside the space, on the outskirts of the island where the Sakura Empire port is located, a large number of ship girls are on guard, each looking as if they are facing a formidable enemy.

In the port plaza, Mikasa calmly listened to the report from Chasing Wind and his group.

"I understand the situation. Thank you for your hard work."

After receiving the information, Mikasa dismissed the team, pondered for a moment, and then went up to the second floor, arriving at the Amagi Mansion.

"I've roughly guessed what's going on. The Black Dragon and the ship girls from the Free Port have both entered the fog, but the Sirens haven't taken the opportunity to attack us, and..."

In the living room, Amagi frowned slightly upon hearing Mikasa's report, looking somewhat puzzled.

If things went according to her plan, now that Black Dragon and Shinano had disappeared, it would be the perfect time for the Sirens to destroy them. However, the Sirens did not attack. Moreover, she received news from within the Sakura Empire that those who had been judged as traitors had suddenly become obedient. The group that had previously discussed with her how to deal with the traitors had also quieted down, as if they were waiting for something.

Suddenly, Amagi sighed softly and sat down on the sofa in the living room.

"what happened?"

Mikasa asked a question, and Akagi, who was resting with her eyes half-closed, also looked over.

"Perhaps we've fundamentally misunderstood something."

Amagi closed his eyes, his tone calm.

"Ama-chan, are you saying that all the high-ranking officials in Sakura Empire have problems?"

Mikasa didn't understand, but Akagi, who had been following Amagi, did.

"How is this possible?! Those guys actually?!"

Mikasa was taken aback, her expression one of disbelief.

"If Black Dragon doesn't return, we'll evacuate Sakura Empire. If Black Dragon does return, everything will proceed as planned."

Amagi opened his eyes and said.

"But?"

Mikasa hesitated for a moment.

"As long as we have military strength comparable to the Sirens, the Sakura Empire government will not completely give up on this side. I should have realized it sooner. Why would the Sirens throw out some pawns as bait?"

Amagi's expression did not change much.

Perhaps Shinano allowed others to fight against the Sakura Empire's military because he sensed something was wrong. He used this as a reason to take the researcher away from the Sakura Empire, while also intimidating the Sakura Empire's higher-ups and making them more cautious.

"So, where did Shinano go? Could he also be trapped by the Sirens?"

Akagi narrowed his eyes slightly, and his words did not show much respect for Shinano.

"The situation is unclear; perhaps they are observing from the shadows, just like before."

Amagi said.

"Hmph, constantly talking about following the course of fate, what an infuriating way of thinking."

Akagi pursed her lips. If they were truly following fate, they shouldn't have reappeared in the world in this form.

“Akagi, you mustn’t be so rude.”

Amagi's gaze swept over Akagi, and he criticized Akagi with a heavy tone.

"Yes Yes."

Akagi gave a perfunctory reply as if it were commonplace, and then reached out and twirled her hair a couple of times.

"Our strength is not enough. We still need the double cherry blossoms as a shade tree. We cannot let it collapse so easily."

Amagi withdrew his gaze, a strange light flashing in his eyes.

"So what should we do next?"

Mikasa listened to their conversation without much reaction, and then asked a question.

"Maintain the status quo and wait quietly."

Amagi closed his eyes and leaned back on the sofa, seemingly lost in thought.

Chapter 106 Good Dragon Guards the Door and Protects the Home

In the darkness, Black Dragon opened its eyes, moved its arms slightly, and the previous weakness had disappeared, even the pain had been greatly reduced.

"Sure enough, I now have self-healing abilities, but they are very slow."

While pondering, Black Flying Dragon propped himself up on the rocks and touched the other injured areas. The pain was significantly less, and it would probably be completely healed in a while.

"Ok?"

After checking his injuries, Black Dragon turned around and found that Formidable and Hermione were gone, leaving only the Rubik's Cube lying on the ground, emitting faint stardust.

"Did those two guys go out?"

Black Dragon was startled and bent down to pick up the Rubik's Cube, then groped his way through the passage he had come in through.

Before taking a break, she told Kewei that the dragon outside was just a watchdog and she was only venting her anger. If she really treated it like a dog, then she wouldn't even be as good as a dog.

Soon, the black dragon emerged from the cave. The first thing it saw was the tide washing over the island, and the second thing it saw was the mechanical dragon still lying on the island, occupying most of it. Its injuries had been completely healed, but its eyes were not lit, and it was still dormant.

Meanwhile, the black dragon was thinking of Formidable and Hermione, who were right next to the mechanical dragon. Formidable, in particular, seemed to have discovered a toy.

He touched the dragon armor all over.

Gritting his teeth, Black Flying Dragon walked over and called out, "Be careful, this guy could probably crush you if he flips over."

As the black dragon cried out, three pairs of eyes turned to her. The mechanical dragon's crimson eyes illuminated the black dragon's entire body like flashlights, startling her so much that she took two steps back and quickly gestured to the two women, telling them to leave.

"This guy is so handsome! Can I take him home?"

Upon hearing the black dragon's words, Fearless led Hermione away from the mechanical dragon and shouted at the black dragon.

"What are you thinking about? Come back quickly."

Black Flying Dragon glared at her, his right hand already gripping the hilt of the cherry blossom sword, ready to save her at any moment.

The mechanical dragon's eyes illuminated the black dragon's body. Without moving, it flicked its tail and slapped the sea surface. The immense force caused the island to tremble several times, and a large portion of the splashed seawater flew towards the black dragon, drenching it completely.

"Wow, is it helping you take a bath?"

Fear stood not far below the cave, while Hermione thoughtfully opened an umbrella to shield him from the seawater.

They looked like they were on the verge of death when they met yesterday, but now they seem to be on vacation here.

"..."

The black dragon, soaked to the bone, immediately lost its temper. It stared at the mechanical dragon for a few seconds, then turned and went into the cave. A few minutes later, it came out wearing a new set of clothes.

Hey!

Upon seeing the undamaged black dragon, the mechanical dragon became excited and suddenly stood up from the ground. At the same time, it spread its wings, covering the area where the black dragon was, as if blotting out the sun. The huge airflow caused the unsuspecting dragon to fall over.

What exactly do you mean?

Black Dragon kept her eyes fixed on the mechanical dragon. She had been watched by this guy ever since she entered this space, and no matter how far she traveled, she would be discovered and caught.

Seemingly understanding the black dragon's words, the mechanical dragon flapped its wings and took flight, circling above the island. If it weren't for its enormous size, the black dragon might have found the creature somewhat cute.

"It hurts. It seems like it wants you to play with it?"

Kewei rubbed his knees and came to Black Flying Dragon's side.

"It almost killed me yesterday, and you're still going to mess with me?"

Black Dragon glared at Fearsome with annoyance. This guy really believed in himself, huh? Just a word like "watchdog" was enough to make her lower her guard against such a terrifying creature.

"Not yesterday, but the day before yesterday."

Kewei corrected the error in Heifeilong's statement.

The day before yesterday?
