The good news is, our guess was correct.
After the heavy blow in Westerburg and the ongoing conflict of two years, the once fully-staffed Winged Cavalry of 5,000 with an equal number in reserve now has less than 500 battle-worthy men left.
The bad news is that the hardships haven't crushed those highlanders; they seem to be fiercer than before.
This might be a good thing, considering the situation with the Black Disaster approaching. Their emergence means there is a greater likelihood that Transylvania could hold back the Jackal and Wolf People's advance.
Additionally, based on some clues captured by our Scout, we can now basically judge that Count Cico's lineage has not died out.
The Winged Cavalry still have a lord they can pledge allegiance to, which means that it's very likely West Cico's Earldom will soon come under the rule of that young Vampire Governor.
It's hard to imagine, but he truly brought the entire Transylvania under his rule in just one month."
