A substantial number may be dead, but there is still the chance of survivors. They never said that every huntsmen in the entire kingdom was dead. They just said that a substantial amount were killed. We still don't know whether or not Shiro or Heather are actually dead. All we know is that they've been gone for awhile. Remember back in vol 3, when Glynda though Qrow was compromised due to losing contact? For right now, I'm gonna list Heather and Shiro as MIA. Also, let's not assume that all or any of the huntsmen of Mistral are idiots. Do you really think that, out of all the huntsmen, which i'm pretty sure there are or at least were a lot of, at least one huntsman or huntress would smell something fishy going on in the last 6-8 months this was going on? You really don't think anyone would've caught on by then? You don't think any of them would travel in groups, or pair up with other groups along the way? When it comes to RWBY, and Rooster Teeth in general, it's important to take what we're given with a pinch of salt. They never straight up said that they were all dead. As for Qrow's "you killed all of my friends" quote, I think he was just referring to the huntsmen HE knew, which I doubt includes every huntsmen in the kingdom. What I'm trying to say is this: we cannot rule out the possibility of survivors. There are too many factors to take into account. Most likely scenario: only a small fraction of huntsmen are left in Mistral, and those huntsmen will make it back to Haven. As for the dozen survivors being the best case scenario, think about this: out of the hundreds if not thousands of huntsmen out on the job, only 11-12 at the most or 4-6 at the least come back. That is not good by the longest stretch of the imagination. And even if there are no more huntsmen left, keep in mind that those who graduate from huntsmen academies can choose whatever profession they want other than being huntsmen. Why did Jacques want Weiss to know how to fight and go to Atlas Academy if he didn't want her to become a huntress? You don't need the title of huntsman to know how one works. You have the training, you have the skills, you just don't have the title. They don't really need official huntsmen, just those who know how to be like one.
