For good measure, Attila also attacks Osantrix' brother Waldemar. He loses this battle, but Dietrich captures Waldemar's son Didrik. Note that, of course, they bear the same name. For clarity's sake, I will refer to Dietrich Waldemar's son as Didrik . Dietrich and his men flee to a fortress, which is invested by Waldemar.
Food is scarce.
Dietrich decides on a sally, and, cleverly timing it to coincide with the besiegers' dinner, captures some food. At first, Waldemar flees in panic, but he quickly returns to the siege. After a few days, food is scarce again. Dietrich decides to send a messenger to Attila. Since Wildeber is badly wounded, he sends Wolfhart.
