Crossing the azure as a black dragon

After finishing speaking, Black Flying Dragon glanced across the entire room and added a sentence.

Hood and Tirpitz exchanged glances, tacitly agreeing to the Black Dragon's plan.

This is Black Dragon's port area, and everything is based on Black Dragon's word. There's nothing wrong with this arrangement, except that the danger is almost entirely on Black Dragon's shoulders.

A hint of surprise flashed in the eyes of the Soviet Union. As a guest, she naturally would not go against Black Flying Dragon's judgment, but she was truly surprised that Black Flying Dragon dared to carry out a decapitation operation alone.

"I have no objection. We didn't bring many people with us this time, so we won't cause you any trouble. We'll just stay here and help look after the house."

New Jersey raised her hand to express her support for her and the Soviets.

"Ah."

Black Flying Dragon nodded and began to add details to some points.

Chapter Thirteen: No one understands how to utilize the Black Dragon better than ( ).

The meeting did not last long, ending in just over ten minutes. Hu De and his three companions left first and returned to the Freeport area, followed by the two from New Jersey.

"The Sirens' actions were too sudden. Could it be that the intelligence we discussed has been leaked?"

The black dragon, which remained in the venue, frowned.

If it were just small-scale harassment, it could be considered a coincidence, but this large-scale attack doesn't seem like a coincidence at all.

"You released those two sirens you were holding last night, didn't you?"

Amagi sat in the second-in-command position, with a silver-white laptop in front of her. When she heard Black Flying Dragon's speech, she paused and asked to confirm.

"Is it related to them?"

Black Dragon's expression instantly darkened. Because of the lingering pride and sense of superiority deep within her, she had failed to kill the two Sirens directly the previous night.

Indeed, one should not show the slightest mercy when dealing with enemies.

"There might be a connection. You should be very familiar with the life fluctuations of those two people. Go and confirm it."

Tiancheng didn't even raise his head; his deep purple eyes reflected the constantly popping-up information windows on his laptop.

Aren't you worried that I'll affect the plans?

Black Dragon's eyes flickered slightly. If she went over now and couldn't help but wipe out all the attacking Sirens, then nothing would change for Sakura Empire.

"hehe…"

Upon hearing this, Amagi couldn't help but cover his mouth with his sleeve and chuckle.

Black Dragon remained silent, patiently waiting for what would follow.

Amagi's thoughts were too deeply hidden; she couldn't grasp the pattern at all, so she might as well just wait for an explanation.

"Excuse me, if it were the plan I presented yesterday, there would be no need to worry about it at all. It was just a last-minute idea to get by."

After Tiancheng laughed, he said lightly.

"That double cherry blossom?"

Black Flying Dragon rubbed her chin. She was very happy that Amagi said that, but now, how Amagi would reclaim Sakura Empire was still a mystery.

"I have other plans for the Sakura Empire, so don't worry. As for the Sirens' attack, they know you'll definitely participate, and they'll certainly send something capable of intercepting you this time..."

Amagi shook his head slightly, paused for a moment as if considering his words, and then spoke again after a few seconds: "Even if Sakura Empire is breached, it doesn't matter. This battle isn't that important. If you really can't find an opportunity to join the battle, then don't make a move."

Black Flying Dragon listened quietly to Tiancheng's speech, and after a moment's thought, he understood what Tiancheng meant.

"Are you worried that the Sirens' attack, ostensibly against the Sakura Empire, is actually aimed at me?"

A glint flashed in Black Dragon's eyes, and he grinned as he asked.

"...That's roughly the idea."

Amagi nodded.

“I’ve got it. If any enemies invade while I’m away, go find my fox or the Black Dragon in the royal palace. They will help you.”

Black Flying Dragon grunted in agreement and got up to leave the conference room, somewhat impatiently.

Next to the conference room was a long corridor, and a white figure was guarding the conference room door.

Be careful.

A flat voice brushed past Black Dragon's ear.

"You too."

Black Dragon smiled and activated its resonance, disappearing directly into the corridor.

"What did you say to Black Dragon that made her so happy when the Sirens attacked?"

Kaga turned and walked into the conference room, asking somewhat strangely.

"I told her to be careful of sirens, probably to provoke her competitive spirit."

Amagi's fingers danced across the keyboard as he responded to Kaga's words with a light laugh.

"How naive... Once this is over, can we go back to Sakura Empire?"

Kaga pursed his lips, found a seat, and said.

"Yeah, doesn't it feel like everything's going too smoothly?"

Amagi glanced at Kaga, who was sitting upright with the same expression as usual... at least that's how it appeared. It would have been better if his face wasn't so tense.

A few days ago, Kaga retrieved Black Flying Dragon's sword, and she could roughly guess what had happened.

Kaga is excellent; her calm and composed demeanor makes up for most of Akagi's shortcomings. Without Kaga's company, Akagi would definitely be very sad... That is a bit of a problem.

"There were some, but it wasn't entirely unexpected. After we've cleaned out those parasites from Sakura Empire, the next step is to prepare for the Sirens, right?"

Kaga hummed in agreement, and when she mentioned the word "parasite," a hint of disdain flashed in her eyes. She leaned forward slightly against the conference table and inquired about Amagi's next steps.

This time, Amagi didn't answer, but quietly tapped the keys.

"Amagi?"

Kaga frowned at Amagi's reaction. She knew she had deviated from her original plan, but she hadn't done anything yet. Had Amagi already excluded her from the plan?

Do not!

Kaga's expression changed slightly. She accepted Black Dragon's kindness, which meant that she had chosen to stand on Black Dragon's side. Although Amagi would not say it directly, he would not tell the disobedient pawn the real plan.

Thinking of this, Kaga gritted his teeth, composed himself, and stood up heavily, preparing to leave.

"What will happen in the future."

The moment Kaga turned around, Amagi stopped his tapping and spoke.

"..."

Kaga stopped, ready to hear Amagi's final advice.

"You and Akagi will have to face everything in the future of Sakura Empire together. Listen to Shinano and Mikasa's opinions. Stabilizing the country and preparing for the Sirens are two goals. Don't be impatient."

Amagi closed his laptop, crossed his arms, and leaned back on his desk, speaking slowly and deliberately.

"Me and Akagi? And what about you?"

Kaga was startled, then suddenly turned around to look at the smiling Amagi.

"I have completed the task Shinano gave me. I will no longer interfere in matters concerning the Sakura Empire."

Amagi answered softly.

"Huh? Do you think anyone else would agree with such a cunning argument?"

Kaga found it absurd. Their power in Sakura Empire was almost entirely built up by Amagi, and they were about to clear away all obstacles in their way. Amagi suddenly said she didn't care anymore. Could there be anything more absurd than this?

"Hmm, I think they'll agree."

Amagi thought for a moment and gave a somewhat uncertain answer.

"How could that be? Although everyone in Sakura Empire respects Nagato, Mikasa, and Shinano, they will only obey your orders unconditionally. Are you planning to abandon them?"

Kaga stepped forward and slammed his hands on the table, arguing vehemently with Amagi.

"With you and Akagi here, there will always be a way."

Amagi nodded in agreement with Kaga's words, took out his phone, snapped a picture of the furious Kaga, and then replied with a smile.

"You... never mind. You said you wouldn't concern yourself with Sakura Empire's affairs, so I guess you're not going to retire to the mountains. Could it be that you're staying here to help Black Dragon manage the port?"

Kaga was so angry at Amagi's attitude that he gritted his teeth, but there was nothing he could do about it. After calming down, he sat down and said...

She again

Not stupid, a little deduction will reveal the underlying meaning of Amagi.

"Yes, I need to stay here and be wary of anyone who wants to exploit the Black Dragon's power."

Amagi readily admitted it.

Do you know what you're saying?

Kaga's lips twitched slightly. In her opinion, Amagi's words were less credible than his direct statement that he wanted to seize the power of the Black Flying Dragon for himself.

Everyone outside knows that Tiancheng was able to start a rebellion because of the Black Flying Dragon. It can be said that no one understands how to use the Black Flying Dragon better than Tiancheng.

"That's roughly the idea. If I keep wandering around Sakura Empire, the people here in Donghuang won't feel at ease."

Amagi didn't pay attention to Kaga's words; no one knew better than her what she had done.

"Why not just say it like that?"

At this point, Kaga regained his composure, though he complained somewhat discontentedly.

Amagi was also helpless; she hadn't expected that even Kaga wouldn't believe her when she told the truth.

摸了

As the title says, there was no update today. From now on, if there's no update on a given day, it means I'm not updating (I feel bad about posting a separate chapter after just one day of inactivity).

Staying up late is bad for you, get some rest early.
