"Anrokuzan! I will not allow you to use this power for war! As the Queen of Rōran, I order you to stop abusing the power of the Dragon Vein at once and release my imprisoned people!"

Underground.
The people of Rōran, who had been operating the steam mechanisms and maintaining the city's power, immediately stopped and looked over.
