The drill instructor addressed Arsinis with a voice that brooked no argument, "In war, the actual combat is brief. Most of the time is spent on marching and setting up camp. A well-trained Amendolaran citizen-soldier must first adapt to and master the art of marching."
Arsinis nodded solemnly, trusting the instructor's wisdom. He had heard tales of this man's bravery on the battlefield, and his reputation was unmatched. Following the guidance given, Arsinis synchronized his steps and adjusted his breathing, learning to conserve energy during the relentless march.
