Bonus for Bran when he sent them out was that he got a handle on where the NK was & what he was doing, so that he had an approximate idea when the NK was going to be in the glade.

As for troops to fight Cersei, I think Yara returns with the rest of the Ironborn, now that Theon is dead, to avenge him, & kill Euron, during the battle with Cersei. Saw an Instagram post from the actress that plays her that seems to indicate she's not out of the running.

But didn’t he fly up and find the Night King? I don’t recall the ravens going all the way to KL.
