A pesar de sus esfuerzos, esta decisión trae desastrosas consecuencias para su pueblo. Asediadas sus poblaciones y diezmadas sus fuerzas, los tlatocayotl deciden entonces formar una alianza con el Capitán Malintzin y sumarse a su campaña. Juntos, texcaltecas y castillanos alistan su avance hacia la majestuosa Tenochtitlan.
