Evelyn also reached out to neighboring villages, sharing their story and inviting them to join their cause. Some were hesitant, fearful of the repercussions from the king, but others responded with enthusiasm, inspired by the villagers' courage and determination. Slowly, a coalition began to form, as more people rallied to their banner, each bringing unique skills and resources.
One evening, Evelyn held a gathering to welcome the new allies. The clearing was filled with villagers from different backgrounds farmers, artisans, and warriors. They shared stories of their struggles and hopes, forging connections that would strengthen their collective resolve.
"Together, we stand a better chance against the king's tyranny," Evelyn proclaimed, her voice ringing clear across the gathering. "We are not just fighting for our own villages; we are fighting for freedom and justice for all who suffer under his rule."
