Cotter Pyke leads Stannis's knights west on ranger's roads close to the Wall. Meanwhile, the fleet of Salladhor Saan transports Stannis's army north to Eastwatch-by-the-Sea. Since the Thenns failed to capture the castle and open the gate for the King-Beyond-the-Wall's main host, Mance is forced to attack the Wall in an attempt to breach the gate. ĭonal Noye and Jon Snow repel the attack on Castle Black led by Styr. He travels back to Castle Black by the way of Mole's Town in time to warn the remaining brothers of the Watch of the on-coming attack from the south. While at Queenscrown, Jon Snow, a black brother who had pretended to have deserted the Night's Watch, escapes the raiding party. They travel through the Gift to Castle Black.

He lures the main strength still remaining at the castle away by having smaller raiding parties show up at multiple places at the Wall, leaving Castle Black to be weakly defended. Having learned that the bulk of the Watch's fighting force has been wiped out at the Fist by Others and their wights, Mance Rayder plans to lead his main host of free folk through the gate in the Wall at Castle Black.
