That night as Wulf and Beorn were making their rounds, checking up on the men on watch, they heard a yell and ran to check it out. It was the Welsh. They fought hard and eventually were able to kill them all. Some of the men who were still in the tunnel died because men were killed in front of them and fell back on top of them. All the Welsh who came up died, except one, Llewellyn the chief of the castle. He was wounded severely, though, so Wulf said that the Welsh could send a doctor to him to take care of him.
The Welsh attacked another time, but Wulf said that if they did again he would kill Llewellyn. Because of this Llewellyn knew it was useless to keep fighting so he had a meeting with the other chiefs and they had a formal surrender to the Saxons.
What's the secret? The passageway?
