I really don't see how the northern kingdoms - what's left of them - can win this one.
This is my 3rd assassination in like 2 weeks. @Kinley @Vigilance.492Edit: Ninjad by EliHarel
No, Aedirn wouldn't be necessarily defeated. Stennis might be on the throne as a strong leader before the invasion occurs.

Even if he is a strong leader, Aedirn cannot hope to face a large invading nilfie army so soon after their civil strife after Demavend was assassinated, and even if he manages to create an army he wouldn't last two weeks, so most likely he either went into hiding or he is doing Rivian-style guerrilla tactics.
Perhaps Emyr will abdicate once he gives Ciri "what she deserves".
Maybe Saskia kingdom can resist if we let Philippa have control over the dragon.
I don't think Emhyr wants anything from Ciri anymore. That ship has sailed.
If he did I'd really be angry with CDPR...
There's also the matter of Ambassador Fitz-Oesterlen being present in Henselt's camp, and I don't recall what they discussed very well . . . perhaps a deal? Correct me, if I'm on the wrong path.

They definitely discussed a deal with Anais in exchange for summit invitation. Shilard was sitting there for so long because he needed an invitation to go to Loc Muinne, and he couldn't get one without Anais kidnapped and delivered to Henselt. That's why Letho was waiting in the ravines as well, until Nilfgaardins gave him to go ahead. It would be not good to off Henselt before he invited Nilfgaardians to LM. The entire plan was about a new Council and Conclave. Too much work went into crashing the old one, and Nilfgaard had no hope in hell to conquer the North against a strong coalition of the mages. We saw it at Sodden Hill.
