Thanks for not breaking up this update in little ones with cliffhangers. The suspense would likely have killed me.
138 kills in one battle eh? That's so impressive it's hard to believe. The whole troop together must have killed like at least 700 on their own then. Anyways, good writing (except quite some spelling mistakes). Do we get a last update with Anna and Giovanni meeting again?
Ha.
Pompeius would have had the moral support of all the Rome behind him, would there have been any kind of bloodshed between Caesars advancing troops and those loyal to Rome. o
And in that situation Ceasar would simply have said 'parlay?'
Anna won't be happy, you just can't go and kill someones husband and than claim the wife to be yours.
But that'd be cool.

I agree, a glorious and epic battle like this, split in instalments becomes... much less glorious and epic.
Treason and death resolved, we await closure on love and friendship in the final(?) chapter
This was a great read Capibara.
I think Ranieri's head will fit great on a rope, at St-Peter's Square!
...Wow I really don't fit the role of the Pope!
But seriously, I guess the next and last update will be Conclusion, looking forward to it.
Euro is going to get a kick out of all those doctor references.
A nice and large chapter to encompass all the action.
But it seems that this book is about to close, shall another one start up?
If you would have made your update 5 minutes shorter to readYou just decide to post the moment I am responding the other comments! You could have commented five minutes earlier!
I'm sure EURO will like the doctor references. I'm glad you liked the chapter. As for the next book, that will be up to you
I don't know why but I feel a sequel could be coming
The Bull's adventure to China.
A sequel would be neat. I support the idea. With lots and lots of adventures along the way.
To China!
Perhaps they might become local warlords and one could found a dynasty of his own.
Bulls... China... shop... trouble
I imagine you'll take a rest before starting a second narrative? Plus you've got certain ABC AAR to get back to...
Alright good ending
Our adventurers head off in the setting sun to continue their mercenary group in some far off land, which they know nothing about. It is a sequel!
Soooo .... any chance of a screenshot of the state of the world at this point
Very well written and I hope you write another narative soon, though your gameplay AAR's are also fun.
Sad to see it come to an end, but I hope the Bulls will be returning to the fora in some incarnation, eventually. Nicely done.
Finally got round to reading the end, and I must say I was not disapointed. I have always been impressed with your writing Arturo, and it never ceases to be so. During this AAR, you have explored the themes, though none of them themes that have not been covered before (friendship, death... just look at the title for the themes ), in a very original way. The question that I am thinking of now is tis: What was this a story about? Now, that might make me sound like I have not properly read this, but if I can explain. Is this the story of Giovanni? Is it the story of his love with Anna? Is it the Bulls story? Well, I have come to the conclusion that it is all of these, and more. In that respect you kept the story very consistent with the title. these 'tales' of so many different themes and seperate storys form into a single idea: Italy. Hmm, not sure where I am going to go from there. Bravo? Good show Arturo, and I am eagerly awaiting your next project, even if it is not the sequel to this. In that respect, I think you dug your own grave with those last lines. We will hound that sequel out of you eventually... maybe even a prequel.
I wonder, how was this excellent story connected to EUIII?
