- After the revolutionaries leave, Pedro makes a deal with his friend, El Tilcuate a.k.a. Damasio.
- He promises to give Damasio a ranch—as well as some cattle—for joining the revolution as a sort of spy for Pedro Páramo.
- Damasio and the 300 men will be like a decoy, so that any other revolutionaries who come will think the Media Luna ranch has already been taken.
