Crossing the azure as a black dragon

"It would be best to launch the operation within three days; they can't hold out for long over there."

The commander reminded him.

"I see."

Black Dragon nodded

.

"Okay, next..."

After the main attack was decided, the commander shifted the focus to subsequent patrols in the Donghuang sea area, fleet logistics, and the coordinates of the teleportation anchor points.

At first glance, Black Dragon thought his family had already entered the interstellar age. But then he realized that teleportation arrays had been around for a long time, so it wasn't surprising that they could be deployed at will now.

The meeting lasted less than twenty minutes, and everything except the naval battle was settled.

The pressure immediately fell on the Black Dragon.

Chapter Thirty-Seven: The Outsider

After the meeting adjourned, the commander took Hei Feilong to visit the navy's training grounds and also boarded a new type of missile destroyer to meet its captain.

The commander said that the captain would assist in the operation later, and Black Dragon made a note of his name and appearance.

After completing the formalities, Black Dragon left the naval headquarters and disappeared into the deserted street corner.

……

In less than a few minutes, Black Dragon emerged from the space tunnel and returned to its front yard. Several passing ship girls were startled by Black Dragon's sudden appearance, but they quickly left laughing and chatting.

Black Flying Dragon's reputation had long been known, and the people living nearby were used to her elusive manner. Those who were frightened were not angry at all; on the contrary, they would feel that they were lucky to have encountered someone named Dragon in this way.

Before entering, Black Flying Dragon rubbed his cheeks.

The headquarters didn't put any pressure on her, but since she was visiting a military site, she subconsciously tensed up, and she didn't know what kind of strange impression she left on them.

After relaxing for a moment, Black Flying Dragon looked up and pushed open the door.

"Wow, Yuudachi, you're sneaking food again! Are you that hungry? You've completely embarrassed us!"

Before even entering the door, Black Flying Dragon heard Shigure scolding Yuudachi.

"kindness?"

Black Flying Dragon tilted her head. Although Shigure was a bit taciturn in front of her, she was incredibly lively when facing Yuudachi. However, the content of the scolding puzzled her, because the voice was coming from the kitchen.

She glanced up at the clock on the wall; it was almost one o'clock. Hermione was very good with time and usually started preparing lunch at eleven o'clock, never letting Yuudachi get hungry. What was going on today?

Welcome back.

Just then, Ke Wei strode out of the living room opposite the kitchen. His eyes lit up when he saw Hei Feilong, and he came over to greet him with a smile.

"I'm back. Haven't you eaten yet?"

After entering the house, Black Flying Dragon closed the door and glanced towards the kitchen.

"Yes, I told them to wait for you to come back before having dinner together."

Kewei smiled faintly and said.

"Actually, you don't need to worry about me so much. You can eat first."

Black Flying Dragon scratched her head. Actually, she barely felt hungry. Eating was just a ritual for her, at least to make herself appear more like a normal person in life.

"Hmph~ You went to the headquarters for a meeting just now, were you discussing things in Australia?"

Kewei ignored Hei Feilong's words, put his hands behind his back, looked up at her, and asked.

"Yes, they said they're preparing to send troops to provide support in the next few days."

The formidable gaze was somewhat sharp, and the black dragon was a little unaccustomed to such a proactive approach from the formidable.

"Tch, I knew it."

Kewei clicked her tongue in displeasure, but quickly turned her attention back to the black dragon. Her two little hands behind her back tangled together, and her expression changed slightly, as if she was struggling with something.

"what happened?"

Black Flying Dragon felt that Ke Wei was acting strangely today. Usually, Ke Wei rarely paid attention to what she was busy with. Could it be that she was sick?

Thinking this, she reached out and brushed aside Kewei's bangs, then leaned down and pressed her forehead against Kewei's.

"Well!"

Black Flying Dragon's action made Fearless puff out her cheeks, clearly indicating that she thought she had a fever. Nevertheless, Fearless did not push Black Flying Dragon away, but just stared at her with displeasure.

"Haha, don't be angry. Is there something you want to discuss? Just say it, don't worry about it."

Black Flying Dragon chuckled twice, took a small step back, and spread his hands.

"Hmph, it's nothing. I just felt that you don't have much time to come back for meals when you're busy, so I thought we could at least eat together when we still have time."

Kewei gave a soft snort, turned his back, and said in a low voice.

Hei Feilong was taken aback upon hearing this, then smiled and stepped forward to put his arm around Kewei's waist from behind. He lowered his head and whispered in Kewei's ear, "Don't be angry. I promise to finish this mission quickly and come back soon."

"Who knows? Someone said they were going to the branch port to receive guests, and they ended up staying for a month."

"How frightening!" he said angrily.

"That was an accident. Alright, alright, let's go eat. Look, Yuudachi is almost starving."

Black Flying Dragon didn't pay any attention and chuckled as he pushed Ke Wei into the kitchen.

"?"

Yuuki, who was chewing on a few large shrimp with her mouth full, asked a question mark, and Shigure next to her turned away embarrassedly.

After enjoying lunch amidst laughter and chatter, Kewei contentedly took her two puppies for a nap.

"I'm sorry to have troubled you again."

The black dragon stayed behind to help Hermione wash the dishes, apologizing somewhat embarrassedly.

"Don't worry about it. Miss Kewei's personality isn't new. Everyone's used to it."

Hermione stacked the plates

Okay, put it back in its original place and wipe the stove in response.

“That’s true, but strictly speaking, I should be the one taking care of Kewei. I’m really grateful that you’ve been staying here to help because of my negligence.”

Black Flying Dragon pursed his lips.

In principle, it's the same as Welsh going to Eugen's house. However, Welsh didn't have any maids with her. The reason is that Welsh and Eugen are both quite steady, while Welsh is spoiled. Welsh herself often goes out with her two little ones, which forces the royal family to send Hermione to help.

I brought her out here and now her family still needs to help her make a living. Thinking about it this way, I really feel embarrassed.

"No, I volunteered to come with Miss Fearless."

Hermione paused, then spoke up to correct the black dragon's statement.

"Huh? Why?"

Black Dragon looked at Hermione with some surprise, only to find that Hermione was also looking over, a hint of a smile in her eyes.

"I came here because I wanted to. Do I need a reason?"

Hermione glanced at the black dragon and answered playfully.

Black Flying Dragon paused, raised his hand to wipe his cheek with the back of his hand, and pondered for a few seconds:

"That's true. Then I'll leave Kawaii and Yuudachi to you."

"Okay, I'd be happy to."

Hermione answered with a smile.

……

After a short rest, Black Flying Dragon arrived at the branch port and found Amagi and Tosa in the office. She explained the contents of the meeting she attended that day and mentioned the giant beast she encountered when she went on a nighttime expedition to Australia.

"I see. The Sirens didn't go all out in suppressing the resistance. In other words, it might still be a trap set to lure you in."

Amagi crossed his arms and rested his hands on the desk, understanding the key point Hei Feilong wanted to make.

"At least there is that possibility. You know, Antarctica is the stronghold of the pro-war faction. It's hard to imagine how many mutant sirens are lurking beneath the surface of Australia's seas."

Black Dragon nodded.

"Ok?"

Tiancheng's eyes flickered slightly. The main base of the pro-war faction was in Antarctica? She had no idea about that.

Tosa leaned against the wall by the window with her eyes closed, the sea breeze blowing through her long, silver-gray hair, as if she hadn't heard their conversation at all.

Hei Feilong didn't press further, standing aside waiting for Tiancheng to speak. She had originally positioned Tiancheng as a tactical commander, and she wouldn't dare make rash decisions on such a national-level event.

"If that's the case, we first need to obtain more detailed intelligence, not just the surface information, but the intelligence on the Sirens' plans. We don't need to have equal information, but at least we need to get some key intelligence before the war starts. At the same time, we also need to stabilize the resistance fleet there and ensure that we don't fall before reinforcements arrive."

Amagi spoke first.

"Yes, but not many people can do that."

Black Dragon nodded. Even she knew the importance of equal information, but how easy was it to obtain information about the Sirens? There were very few who could penetrate the Sirens' plans and return safely.

Unfortunately...

"I go."

Tosa opened his eyes and uttered those two words before Black Flying Dragon could.

"The sirens of this world already know of my existence, but they are unaware of my strength. My appearance there alone will inevitably arouse their curiosity and cause them to test me, thus naturally revealing part of their plans."

After a brief pause, Tosa gave his analysis.

"No, they don't know anything about you, and you've never fought them. Even you could be in danger."

Black Flying Dragon immediately retorted upon hearing this.

"And my reconnaissance system has been fully upgraded. I can find out the Sirens' entire layout just by taking a quick look around there, which makes it more reasonable for me to go there."

Black Flying Dragon looked at Tosa and said seriously.
