“He heard a crunch and rumble while still in his sleep. Without waking up, from the sound, he estimated the approximate size of the stone that fell into the courtyard, the angle of impact, the distance to the catapult... in a dream, he remembered that he was not in the Camargue or Champagne, but at home, in Perugia. And if the shells reach his yard, it means the damn Oddi didn’t just infiltrate under the city, as was the case last time, but went beyond the walls and removed the chains that were hindering the cavalry and guns - and therefore the case is considered lost. Then he woke up and remembered that no damn Oddi could get anywhere. Last time was the last time for them...The vicissitudes of the profession - even when you leave the war, the war does not leave you.” Volume two, parts one and two.
