Chapter 231 Famine

However, the latter smiled and said, "The legion controlled by the Royal Family is expanding rapidly. As far as I know, after their return to Paris, they recruited nearly a thousand new soldiers in a short period of time.

"Now, including Mulan's corps that has pledged allegiance to the Royal Family and the Swiss mercenaries, the Royal Family has over ten thousand soldiers at their disposal,"

"You've forgotten the Flander Regiment; oh, now it's called the Paris Legion," Mono chimed in, "They've always been cozying up to the Royal Family."

"Thanks for the reminder. So, that makes 13,000 men," the Duke of Orleans glanced at the Marquis of Saint Priest, "Following this trend, it won't be long before the Royal Family has a formidable army, and you all will become worthless."

General Astou snorted disdainfully, "Just over 10,000 men, not even enough to maintain order in France."
