Chapter 1389 Lead the Way

• Robin's shocking display at the Mount Netheris Martial Arts Tournament sent tremors through every tier of the Netheris Domain.
• Since taking power, Kage had maintained control over Netheris through a brutal blend of violent repression and relentless indoctrination. Under the Dark Syndicate, the commoners had long been molded into obedient sheep—docile, unquestioning, and easily swayed.
• When word of Robin's actions spread, these same people were inflamed with fury. Fired up by propaganda, they rushed to local fortress lords, demanding to be sent into battle. Many declared they would gladly give their lives to preserve the honor of the Dark Syndicate and eliminate this foreign threat.
