In the army camp, soldiers tell the general surnamed Torreblanca that a group was captured on the royal road and he orders that they be locked in an abandoned monastery to be shot the next morning, thinking that among the prisoners was Captain Galeana. After notifying him that a child (Leo) was among the prisoners and that Galeana had not been captured (since he was the man who had followed on foot by the stream), General Torreblanca goes to where Leo is to demand the direction to which Galeana had fled and after his refusal, Torreblanca orders that the law be followed and everyone, including Leo, be shot in the morning.
The soldiers who managed to flee warn Torreblanca of the chupacabra's attacks on his men, and he orders the roof bridge that leads to the church to be demolished.
Coming out of the tunnel, Puma, one of the prisoners, is about to attack Leo with a stone until he recognizes him. At that, Torreblanca appears along with some soldiers who already have Merolick prisoner again, he orders them to take Nando to the infirmary and that the three (Leo, Merolick and Puma) be shot immediately. When they are about to fire, a cannon fire scatters everyone; It is about an army of numerous insurgent rebels commanded by Captain Galeana, who carries the flag of El Doliente de Hidalgo, and starts a crossfire between them and the royalist army.
