Juleios' piercing gaze swept across the gathered assembly, his words weighing heavily in the air. Though his tone was measured, the impact of his plans reverberated deeply among the senators and officers.
"Discipline and unity," Juleios declared, "are the lifeblood of any great city-state. Let Amendolara's army be known not only for its strength but for its integrity. Through our military code, we will instill a new standard for all citizens, both old and new."
Hearing this, the new citizens ceased their murmurs. Their eyes gleamed with resolve, their spirits buoyed by Juleios' unwavering confidence. They all voiced their agreement to embrace the new military code, pledging to lead by example.
