Perhaps out of disgust for Austria, France's large farm plan wasn't kept a secret. Soon after the Paris Government made a decision, the plan was announced to the public.
This was understandable, since the Rebel Army's Eighth Division led by Hutile and others had swollen to a massive eighty thousand strong and looked set to breach the one hundred thousand mark soon.
Regardless of their combat effectiveness, their destructive power had been felt by the French. This ragtag force did only two things on their journey: wildly expand their ranks and plunder estates.
Hutile and his fellows fully exhibited a style of bullying the weak and fearing the strong. They didn't touch the cities that the French staunchly defended, instead targeting the weaker countryside and small towns.
Even if most of the soldiers were armed with melee weapons, the advantage of their sheer numbers meant they were an unstoppable force everywhere they went.
