On the other hand, Ramsay and the Boltons have the House Umber and House Karstark on their side.

Meanwhile, "Game of Thrones" co-showrunner David Benioff previously talked about the biggest battle between Jon and Ramsay in season 6.

While speaking with Entertainment Weekly, he said, "Miguel Sapochnik did such a fantastic job directing 'Hardhome' so we thought we should bring him back - this time with horses. Horses are not easy at all. And certainly in terms of numbers - number of extras, number of stuntmen, number of shooting days - it's the biggest we've done."

"Game of Thrones" producer and writer Bryan Cogman seconded Benioff's statements, saying, "It's definitely the biggest action sequence yet. We've always wanted to get to a place - story-wise and budget-wise and time-wise and resource-wise - where we would be able to do a proper battle, with one army on one side, one army on another side," he said.

Co-showrunner Dan Weiss added, "Why don't you see more fully fleshed-out battles in movies and TV? Then you get into the nitty-gritty of what it takes to actually shoot these things in a way that isn't just helter-skelter chaos but actually gives you a sense of battle geography and the ebb and flow, and you realize why."

Following episode 9, "Game of Thrones" season 6 will only air another episode as its finale. Viewers are in for a big surprise and cliffhanger in the said installment.

"Game of Thrones" season 6 airs Sundays at 9 p.m. ET on HBO.
