Chapter 6
A horse’s head had been found impaled upon the stake where so many heads had been exhibited through the years. Felipe killed the horse "Sultan." He killed his noble friend by opening the large vein in his neck, so he would not suffer, then cut off his head with a machete. Defying the curfew, and using the cover of darkness, he set the head in the plaza and fled the town. He left his clothing and his few belongings in a bundle in the blood-splattered stable. He left naked, wearing the same amulet around his neck that he had worn when he arrived years before.
Pedro had just negotiated an alliance with his principal enemy, the Cacique Michimalonko, and was organizing a great campaign in the south to subjugate the Mapuche. The aged cacique, on whom the years had left no trace, had recognized the advantages of allying himself with the hunicas, seeing that he had not been able to defeat them. Aguirre's ruthless attacks had left him nearly stripped of warriors. Between perishing and fighting the Mapuche of the south, with whom he had had problems in recent time.
Felipe betrayed the Spanish. He had played in their lives. For years Felipe had devoted himself to studying horses and breeding them. He learned about military strategy, about the weapons, he knew all the strength and weaknesses of the Spanish. They believed that Felipe admired Valdivia, his Taita, whom he served better than anyone else, but in truth, he was spying on him. His real name was Lautaro. He sent his men to steal horses. He also set up a communication system so efficiently that the very last of his warrior received their toqui's orders instantly. He turned women into ferocious warriors and used children to transport provision, equipment, and messages.
Guacolda was five years older than Lautaro. He has known her since childhood and knows that he belongs to her, just as she belongs to him. He has seen her every time he escaped from the town of the huincas to deliver information to the tribes. She was his contact, his swift messenger. Lautaro organized strategy by day and by night hides with Guacolda in the thickest to make love. In his last meeting with Guacilda, she had told him to flee on the next moonless night. When he arrived that night without his cloth, Guacolda greeted him and kissed him on his lips. They made love, and then Lautaro went towards the south.
The tribe chooses the war chiefs who will be in charge of the squadrons of the Spanish. The tourney has begun with weeks of anticipation, only the strongest with the greatest endurance and those with the most courage and will can aspire the title. Iche Caupolican leaps into the ring, naked except for a short apron covering his sex won the competition. Even after years he was strong and did not put down the trunk continues walking and talking during the conflicts with Mapuche.
Lautaro fights the Spanish differently. He had not appeared as an enemy in front of Spanish rather than he came as a weak and helpless stranger. He became the spy of Valdivia, and he gathered all the strength and weaknesses of the community. Through proper planning and strategy, he made his army stronger. He set a powerful plan for attack. Everyone trusted him and even during the attack no one understood his role in the war. He spends his life as a caretaker of horses, but in reality, he was there to gather all the secrets of the Spanish to destroy them
Gonzalez Marmolejo was the priest. He worked for the Pedro. When Pedro fell from the horse, it took several men to hold him for each of the procedures. Pedro thought so many times that he would die od pain that he dictated his will to Gonzalez de Marmolejo, sealed it and sent ut to be kept under lock and key in the office of the town hall. Also when Pedro wanted to meet Ines, Gonzalez was the one who went to give Pedro's, and Ines met Pedro in his house later on.
Caupolian was the war chief of Spanish, famous for his bravery and strength. Fresia, his wife saw him dragged along the chains by the enemies. Caupolian bore without the sound the hideous torture of the sharpened pole slowly penetrating his entrails. He was being tortured and saw opt-applied punishment in which half the right foot of rebellious Indians was hacked off. Felipe, The Lautaro killed the Valdivia. His men dragged Valdivia by the hair, naked, to the settlement where Lautaro was waiting. Stones and sharp branches tore his skin. With Laurado order pieces of flesh were gouging out from Valvida's body. They roasted their flesh and ate them in front of him.
Yes, I am agreed with the statement "I should hate them, but I can't. They are my enemies, but I admire them because I know that if I were in their place, I would die to fight for my land, as they are doing" because she talked about the land and community. Everyone loves his belonging, his native land, people around him and everybody can fight or kill others to save their land. In this perspective, the statement was totally correct. Ines knew the importance and love for the land.
