Duke glanced at the five young wizards beside him, who seemed slightly nervous yet forced themselves to remain calm, abandoning the thought of having them coordinate the attack.
Rather than counting on their potential mistakes in coordination, it's better to leave it to the professionals.
"You five," Duke's voice was calm and emotionless, "Stay here, guard the rear and the flanks, prevent any stragglers from escaping or enemy reinforcements from other directions."
The five young wizards paused for a moment, seeming somewhat disappointed at not being able to join the frontal assault, but they also visibly relaxed, quickly nodding in agreement.
Assigning them to relatively safe guard duties suited their wishes perfectly.
Duke nodded to Vivian: "We coordinate with the Beastmen squad."
Vivian understood and started quietly exploring forward with Duke.
At this moment, the Beastmen squad was already in position, forming an encirclement, just waiting for Duke's command to attack.
