News that Anning began conscripting troops at an estate on the outskirts of Paris spread, and more people from Paris flocked to this small rural estate.
For several days in a row, people kept streaming into the estate nonstop, turning it into a marketplace.
From the second floor of the estate, Anning even saw people getting the idea to sell water and snacks among the crowd.
But because there were too many people, it was impossible to house them all after the conscription; the estate had only so many houses, and even if the animal sheds were included, there was still not enough room for so many people.
Consequently, Anning had no choice but to send the people who had been recruited thus far over to Conte.
