Anatoly43, it seems like you have the Spirit of Despair in your inventory; you can use it to prevent the appearance of unfavorable enemy morale. As for the catapult, it depends on luck. Very often, our main enemy when attacking a castle is our own catapult, and the power of the meteor shower isn't always enough to destroy it on the first try. Or, as in this case, it's a battle without magic.
