August, 1519
200 miles far from Tenochtitlan
200 miles far from the Aztec Empire capital, Tenochtitlan. Half of my men are against when I said we are stilling going inward. I need to keep my troop to stay here and not going back. I have decided to be the governer of my Spanish colony, Veracruz. I have also burned all my ships! I don not want any of my men going back! I want to maintain my force to fight against Montezuma! I have made one ship go to our most precious King of Spain. This ship will deliver my letters and show our most precious King of the discoveries of golds and gems we found. I have left 150 of my men at Veracruz, my Spanish colony, so that no other Conquistador missions would take the advantage of my claim. Montezuma made some of his magicians think they can drive out my powerful troop but I will let nothing stop us from gaining their Empire!
