The Wall.

The next day, a huge line formed as members of the free folk advanced, leaving the camp being dismantled and stretching the line across the icy desert in front of the Wall, until they reached the other side of it.

Meanwhile, people carrying their belongings moved through the tunnel to the exit of Castle Black, passing through the middle of the courtyard. Even early on, the free folk had already found a good place to begin relocating in the early morning, where they would spend the next night south of the Wall, setting up camp on this side of it.

In the end, the Night's Watch remained trapped, surrounded by their attackers. Some were kept in the ice cells, while others had to stay in their quarters, only being called upon for certain tasks requested by members of the free folk, while a group was searching for rangers who had fled over the Wall during the night and had not returned after Jon's summons.

The free folk had been celebrating all night, drinking in Castle Black, while some ideas about chopping off the heads of some defeated rangers seemed tempting. However, these were quickly suppressed by Mance and his men, stating that Jon would not allow it.

Still, some drunkards spoke too much and ended up being taken to the cells as well. Jon would deal with them later. No one wanted to go against Jon's orders anymore after that, which was quite hypocritical of some—after all, they were not the ones who had won the battle.

As much as they had brought their army, they were preparing to fight the enemy. They had only arrived to finish surrendering the rangers, because Jon and his dragon had done all the work. There was no way anyone could claim conquest rights over the Wall when they hadn't played any real part in it.

He alone had done what no one else had achieved in eight millennia.

Jon also finally left the camp while walking with his wives, beginning to move away from the area along with Daenerys, Lucis, Ygritte, and Val — who was helping Della the entire time, while they kept pace with the crowd.

Winter kept flying between the north and south sides of the Wall, with nothing to do. Later, he went to Eastwatch-by-the-Sea to hunt a small whale that surfaced.

The group then returned to Castle Black along with their wolves, who immediately began sniffing for any sign of danger. With Val checking everything around them, she followed the group, protecting her sister on the way out of Castle Black.

And it was at that moment that Mance approached his wife. He spoke briefly with Della, then returned to Jon shortly after.

"How are things going? I saw there weren't many problems."
Jon said, making sure to look around the place through the ravens.

"Everything's going fine, just as you asked. We had some trouble with our men, but I put them all in a cell. You'll have to judge them later, since they wanted to go through with some beheadings and denied that you had the right to interrupt their revenge against the Night's Watch."
Mance said as Jon nodded.

"If they want blood, then I'll give it to them later."
Jon said in a serious tone. He would not allow any disobedience while commanding the army. He would deal with anyone without turning a blind eye. He needed to set an example.

"Anyway, I'll handle that later.
Right now, I want to check on Maester Aemon."
Jon said, looking at Daenerys while using his cloak to cover his face, his gaze asking her to follow him.

She nodded, approaching him as they walked toward the heart of the castle. But before that, they saw a group of men who had just been brought from north of the Wall, all rangers that Jon had captured. Some were still trembling, traumatized by the visions of the dead surrounding them — a kind of treatment Jon often used when some of them didn't believe the stories about the White Walkers.
