"How many men are stationed along the road from here to La Roche-Bernard, which the gentleman followed in coming to see me?" "Six hundred on the Arzal moor, six hundred among the Marzan gorse, three hundred at Peaule, three hundred at Billiers." "Total, eighteen hundred. How many between Noyal and Muzillac?"

Such were the men, who, at the time we are crossing the borderland between the Loire-Inferieure and Morbihan, were scattered from La Roche-Bernard to Vannes, and from Quertemberg to Billiers, surrounding consequently the village of Muzillac.
