Crossing the azure as a black dragon

White Dragon turned sideways and grabbed Black Flying Dragon's shoulder, speaking earnestly.

Why did we come to this conclusion?

The black dragon was baffled by the white dragon's strange thought process.

Chapter 129 Lure the snake out of its hole

"By the way, what mission are you going to carry out?"

After once again refusing the white dragon's request for a sparring match, the black dragon casually tossed his hair and asked.

"Ah, it seems they're fighting against the sirens lurking near Kyoto Prefecture. Shinano said that area is quite important."

Bai Long crossed his arms, tilted his head, and thought for a while before remembering his mission.

"This timing? Is it alright?"

Black Flying Dragon's eyes flickered slightly. She didn't know how Shinano knew the location of the Sirens, but those lurking guys were not weak. Sending warships into the river to fight the enemy, what kind of tactic was that?

"The maximum benefit can only be achieved by going at this point in time."

Bai Long didn't speak; his voice came from the room the two had just passed.

"Oh! So you live here. I was wondering why I couldn't find you around here."

Black Dragon paused, while White Dragon was even more direct, turning around and slamming the sliding door open before swaggering inside.

Sunlight streamed into the room, and a purple-haired girl, sitting at her dressing table tidying her appearance, came into their view.

"Be quiet."

Izumo scolded Hakuryu, tied his hair into a single ponytail with a red hair tie, and stood up to face the two of them.

Bai Long shrugged, but didn't argue back. He crossed his arms and leaned against the door, waiting quietly.

"You're going too, Izumo?"

As Black Flying Dragon retreated, he raised an eyebrow slightly as he watched Izumo grab the protective armor and tie it to his body.

"Yes, we came here to demonstrate our strength to fight the Sirens and to intimidate those wavering people."

"The Sakura Empire has suffered its greatest loss since the appearance of the Sirens, and people are uneasy at this time. Picking out the lurking Sirens now will make the people along the coast and the Yangtze River even more panicked. Then we can defeat them. In this way, we can change some people's perception of us and let them know that we are a trustworthy existence."

Izumo's protective gear was much simpler than ordinary heavy armor, and he put it on in the blink of an eye.

Izumo's original attire was just modern casual wear, but after adding a piece of protective gear, his entire demeanor changed. Combined with his meticulous expression and attitude, he exuded the aura of a great general.

"It feels a bit deliberate. Will it really be effective?"

After hearing the explanation, Black Dragon wasn't very optimistic.

The plan sounds promising, but it remains to be seen how effective it will be.

Furthermore, this is all predicated on victory. If we lose the battle, won't we lose the hearts and minds of the people along with it?

"Generally speaking, it is useful."

Izumo nodded and stepped out of the room. Haku also got up. The three of them, with Kurohiryu leading the way, moved towards the shrine entrance, with Izumo and Hakuhiryu standing at different positions behind them.

"By the way, I will be going to Hokkaido with my wife and Kitakaze, while Hakuryu, Ibuki, and Shimakaze will be going to Kyushu, Kinki, and Shikoku respectively."

After turning a corner, Izumo spoke up to remind him.

"Humph~"

The black dragon made a sound that was difficult to understand.

This group, consisting of the three from Izumo and Shinano who were already there, is not weak in terms of combat strength. Haku's side is not weak either. However, the location of these three regions is quite awkward, as they are located south of Nagoya Port City.

Shinano knew the exact location of the Siren's hideout, so he must also know that a boss monster was hiding in Nagoya. If he knew that, why did he still send these people there…?

Hei Feilong thought of Tiancheng's smiling face before he came here. It was a genuinely happy smile. He guessed that he originally wanted to trick her into coming here in the next few days, but she just walked right into his arms. How could she not be happy?

However, she was also quite curious whether she could win if she faced that big black dog.

The enemies coming from Black Azure Dragon's side are too weak for her now. To figure out her own strength level, she still needs to fight real enemies.

Anyway, this is Sakura Empire, so if you can't beat them, you can just run away or call for help.

"Speaking of which, I was just about to go to Xiaobang City to pick up my friend from the port area and bring him back to Donghuang. Why don't you come with me, Bailong, and keep you company?"

Without showing any outward emotion, Black Flying Dragon spread his hands and made a suggestion to the two of them.

"Oh, no problem! This is a perfect opportunity for you to see how much stronger I've become. I really have become stronger!"

Bai Long grinned as he listened, boasting generously about his strength.

"Haha, how strong is it?"

Black Flying Dragon smiled. It would be strange if a battle maniac like White Dragon didn't get stronger after more than half a year.

"Hmph, anyway, it's really powerful. You'll see when the time comes."

The white dragon held its head high, looking like it was second only to the heavens.

The three of them chatted idly.

Emerging from the labyrinthine shrine, passing through the torii gate, the black dragon immediately spotted Azuma and her entourage standing at the very edge, gazing down at the two levels below. Nearby, numerous destroyers and light cruisers were also seen wandering and playing, seemingly quite interested in the area, suggesting they rarely had the opportunity to come here.

"Could it be that I misunderstood?"

The lively scene before him made Black Flying Dragon ponder.

Perhaps it's not that the ship girls don't want to come up here, but that in their eyes the shrine is solemn and sacred, and they don't dare to come up normally. They only come up for a stroll when guests come.

"what?"

The white dragon beside him looked a little strange.

"It's nothing. Have you been here a few times?"

Black Flying Dragon shook his head and asked a question in return.

"Two or three, plus this time, that makes it four times."

Bai Long calculated and answered.

"If things can stabilize here completely, we will stay here permanently."

Izumo chimed in, agreeing with him.

"Then it shouldn't be a big problem."

Black Dragon answered with a light laugh.

Even within the Eastern Empire, there is tacit approval for ship girls to control the Sakura Empire regime, and they hope that she can help deal with it.

In other words, even if she does something wrong here, Donghuang will turn a blind eye.

"It's too early to draw conclusions."

Izumo shook his head slightly, stepped over the torii gate, and walked with Azuma and the others.

"How about we go to Sakura Empire's mainland for breakfast?"

Black Flying Dragon didn't follow, but turned his head and spoke to White Dragon.

Her time is precious. It's almost seven o'clock now, and she has to go back to the port area for inspection by ten o'clock at the latest, otherwise she won't make it to lunch.

Besides, she was also worried that her silly fox at home might do something strange.

"Hmm? I don't care."

Bai Long had no objections.

"Let's go eat at the Cherry Blossom Country restaurant then."

Black Flying Dragon made up his mind, quickened his pace, and walked over to chat with Azuma and the others, also getting to know Shimakaze.

This child was brought back from outside by Shinano. He respects Shinano very much and has a very cheerful and lively personality. Hei Feilong feels somewhat similar to Yuudachi, whom he met at the beginning.

They were both rabbits, and she still liked the little guy very much.

Urged on by Haku's 'hungry', the group of seven split into two parts. Izumo-Azuma and Kitakaze headed northeast, while Kurohiryu took the remaining three on a shortcut. With a snap of his fingers, they arrived at the coast of Kohama City, Fukui Prefecture, about three or four nautical miles from the land. People on land could see a small black dot, but they wouldn't pay much attention to it.

"Wow, that's amazing! What kind of technology is that? It actually covered such a long distance in one go!"

Shimakaze was stunned when he emerged from the tunnel. He then approached the black dragon and spoke in an exaggerated tone.

"It's just using energy to adjust space; you can do that once you become stronger."

Black Dragon revealed a faint smile.

"Oh! My motivation is kicking in! In the future, I want to be as strong as Senior Black Flying Dragon."

The island wind was greatly encouraged and excitedly began to circle in the sea.

"..."

Ibuki glanced down at her sword. For the past six months, she had been practicing combat every day, hoping to catch up with Black Dragon when they met again. But now it seemed that Black Dragon's progress was equally rapid, and he had once again reached a level she couldn't understand.

"really?"

The white dragon snapped its fingers, mimicking the black dragon's gesture, but nothing happened.

"The snapping was just me faking it; the real thing was using concentrated energy to open the door, like this."

Black Flying Dragon's lips twitched slightly. He reached out and pulled out the last longsword from the sword rack. He slowed his movements and slashed in front of him. Energy gathered on the blade, and he cut directly into the air, leaving a crack that emitted a pale purple light.

"I understand!"

Bai Long retreated a distance, drew his greatsword, spun around, and slashed the blade in front of him.

boom!

Like hitting a wall with a hammer, the greatsword unleashed a powerful burst of energy the moment it touched the sea surface. It was like a powerful cannonball exploding on the water, splashing water everywhere. All four people present, including Black Dragon, were soaked. Shimakaze, who was moving and circling around, was even thrown into the air by the impact of the seawater. After sliding down and landing, he patted his chest with lingering fear.

"Hmm, something feels a little different?"

White Dragon didn't seem to care much. He reached out and ruffled a strand of hair that was covering his eyes, looking at Black Dragon with some confusion.

"The energy distribution is not even enough. Your knife is too big. How about we try mine?"

Black Dragon reluctantly tossed the longsword in his hand to White Dragon.

"I don't want such a long knife either; it's inconvenient to carry around, and I always lose it..."
