Leech, who was considered a "brute," led his troops on a forced march for several days and finally reached Longship Castle.
Rotting, dead birds flew overhead, scouting the situation for him.
Unfortunately, he was a step too late. Wado Eighteen's army had already scattered the day before.
Upon discovering they had no food, Wado Eighteen immediately attacked Longship Castle. But how could a fortress so easy to defend and difficult to assault be taken by a mob of serfs who couldn't even fill their own stomachs? They probably wouldn't have had the strength to climb a ladder even if one was handed to them.
At first, the mob still had some fight in them. They believed that if they took Longship Castle, they could eat their fill, be given land, and finally leave behind this life where people died every day.
