Chapter 64: Lungmen Docks, Wei Yenwu
It seems there's no escaping it.
"Fight to the death! All lands under heaven belong to our Lord!"
The Amiya drew his blade and shouted, his fanatical appearance only terrifying the normal people around him.
"All lands under heaven belong to our Lord!"
But the believers seemed as if injected with adrenaline, their blood boiling as they attacked indiscriminately—the surrounding soldiers, innocent civilians, all became their targets.
"Ah—! All you people of Yan deserve to die!"
Facing the Shanhai Sect members charging toward her, Fiammetta didn't feel particularly nervous; one could even say she was completely unperturbed.
After all, the entire world stood behind her.
Sure enough, that Shanhai Sect member didn't even get within ten meters of her before an ice spike pierced through his forehead.
"This is already the second incident in half a month."
Fiammetta had also keenly sensed that the atmosphere in the city these past few days was somewhat off. Logically, a heavily fortified border city shouldn't have so many troublemakers.
"Hmm, it seems something is about to happen here."
Even someone slightly less perceptive, upon careful thought, would realize the goal of these rioters: tomorrow's docking ceremony between Yumen City and Lungmen.
But that's a matter for those in power to worry about; it has nothing to do with Kevin.
"Apologies, did those rioters harm either of you?"
"No."
"That's good, that's good. This is our dereliction of duty, putting everyone in danger. We apologize!"
That patrol battalion commander cupped his hands in apology to those around him, his etiquette impeccable, leaving no room for criticism.
"Of course, we also thank everyone for helping us capture the criminals."
The wandering warriors weren't forgotten either, each returning the gesture with cupped hands.
"Take them away!"
That squad Amiya led his men to escort away a few captives whose faith wasn't as firm; they could probably extract some information from them back at headquarters.

Returning to their residence—a small courtyard Kevin had bought in Yumen City. They couldn't always stay at the inn; many things were inconvenient there.
The two now had a settled place.
"Miss Ling?"
Fiammetta chuckled. Every time she encountered Miss Ling, she could see her lying on the roof eaves drinking, that carefree and leisurely appearance all day long.
At first, she came to drink with Kevin. After several times, Kevin stopped indulging her madness.
Sometimes, when Ling was in the mood, she would chat with Fiammetta about topics related to Yan poetry.
"Oh, you two are back? But don't worry, I'm not here this time to drag Kevin out drinking."
She scratched her head, but her dragon tail unconsciously refilled her cup again.
"It's fine, as long as Kevin doesn't mind."
"No, I do mind."
Seeing Pozëmka and Kevin play off each other perfectly, Ling's eyes turned helpless. This couple was clearly in cahoots... She had finally found a suitable drinking buddy.
Was drinking with her really that troublesome?
"Kevin, are you interested in tomorrow's docking ceremony between Lungmen and Yumen? Ah, don't rush to refuse. You two can go together; consider it showing Fiammetta the local customs and culture of Yan."
Ling winked one eye.
"You want to go?"
"Yes."
"Then let's go."
"Okay."
Two questions, two answers. Under Kevin's wing, Pozëmka had perfectly learned virtues like not being stubborn, not hiding her thoughts, and not concealing her own wishes.
Politeness and formalities held almost no meaning in her way of interacting with Kevin.
Regarding understanding Kevin's personality, Fiammetta was already the person in this world who had studied it most deeply. She might even secretly publish a book about it someday.
She already had the title figured out: "One Hundred Questions About the Iceberg Prince: From Beginner to Master."
Watching the two settle their plans in just a few words, the lightning-fast confirmation method left Ling a bit stunned.
"Let me say this upfront: tomorrow's ceremony site might not be entirely peaceful."
Ling didn't want to hide it; after all, that general was playing things a bit too recklessly.
"It's fine."
"I believe in him."
"Tsk."
Ling curled her lip. This centuries-old single dragon couldn't stand seeing such things the most.
"Well then, that's settled. I'll make sure to save you two the best viewing spot."
She swaggered off with her wine jug, subtly pocketing the tea leaves from the table in Kevin's courtyard along the way.
.......
The day passed quickly. The first rays of morning sunlight fell as a rumbling sound gradually approached—the sound of another Nomadic City drawing near.
Looking out from the city wall tower, it was a city with a style completely different from Yumen's.
Skyscrapers were everywhere,
dense roads, modern facilities... Although Yumen had these too, its style leaned more retro, including its cultural atmosphere.
But this wasn't the reason why Ling had found such an "unconventional" spot.
"You said the 'best viewing' spot is here?"
Kevin fell silent unusually. The view here was wide open; looking down, one could even see Lungmen slowly approaching in the distance.
The viewing experience was indeed maximized, but...
Whoosh!
He extended one palm. Howling gales swept up countless sand and dust. The wind and sand atop this city wall tower were already wild; he and Ling could stand firm, but...
Pozëmka huddled behind Kevin, her two pink wolf ears almost flattening into airplane ears.
"I didn't expect you two to come so quickly. My oversight, my oversight."
"It's—fine—!"
Her voice was stretched thin by the strong wind. Hidden behind Kevin, her small face wore a delighted smile.
Watching a Nomadic City travel at high speed firsthand—Fiammetta had never had such a novel experience before. And with Kevin beside her, completely eliminating any safety concerns, made tension, excitement, and thrill coexist!
It was simply—awesome!
Rumble!
With a tremor, the deceleration process of the two behemoths officially concluded.
The massive Nomadic City platforms didn't directly connect; instead, they linked via ground docking mechanisms.
Rows of soldiers, led by a general with an imposing appearance, arrived outside the city gate.
Their heavy, majestic armor and the aura forged from bloody battles made them seem like a mountain range.
Thud! Thud! Thud!
From Lungmen's ground docking side, another group descended, walking slowly toward Yumen.
"Hahaha, Duke Wei's elegance remains undiminished."
"General Zuo jests. Without generals like you guarding the borders, how could we rest easy?"
