With the confrontation behind them, Xia, General Liang, and Lin Feng seized the opportunity to strengthen their alliance with the people. They organized town hall meetings across the kingdom, where citizens could voice their concerns and ideas directly to the emperor and the Crimson Shadows.
These meetings fostered a renewed sense of community and collaboration. The Crimson Shadows listened to the citizens, addressing their needs and concerns while reinforcing the idea that they were all working together for a common goal.
As they traveled from village to village, the bond between the Crimson Shadows and the people grew stronger. Xia took the lead in empowering local leaders, encouraging them to take initiative in their communities and work hand-in-hand with the Crimson Shadows.
The newfound unity not only quelled dissent but also fortified the kingdom against future challenges. The citizens felt heard and valued, and the Crimson Shadows became symbols of hope and resilience.
