We have prepared eighty-three wagons and carts to carry necessities. We have also secured 7,000 animals to carry us on this journey. With four hundred men to back me up, we will conquer the land north of New Spain. I will conquer the natives, and I will govern my own land. I will go down in history as the greatest conqueror of all time! I will be known as Onate the Great!
King Philip granted me permission to colonize the northern area above New Spain three years ago. We will leave tomorrow. He has trusted me with this land, put it in my hands. I will not let him down. Finally! After so many delays and setbacks I will finally embark on the journey that will lead me to ultimate power.
