De Junco obeyed the order. In addition, Rodrigo de Junco asked King sending 30 royal slaves from Havana to Florida for them to work at Saint Augustine´s Fort, because the soldiers had been building Fort reluctantly and only using wood as the construction of the Fort was not, according to them, part his work. So the king gave an order that these slaves were sent to Florida and work at Fort Saint Augustine for 4 years. Most of them worked at Fort harshly and twenty of them were sent to Santa Elena to repair the fort and built a platform there in it for a small period of time.〔(Witness to Empire and the Tightening of Military Control: Santa Elena's Second Spanish Occupation, 1577-1587 ).
