John had beaten him to this situation and said, "Okay, six melees with the highest damage go and attack at will. The other melee will serve as a foothold to the ranged class so they can fire from above."
The Man was protesting. All of his men were melee, so most of his men were getting reduced to foothold roles. His mood had been down since being denied the battle with the outlaws. Now getting reduced to be footings for others to stand on, it was getting on his nerves.
Jeanny persuaded him and offered herself to be a footing as well since she was a melee too. John advised against it since Jeanny's damage was amongst the top for melee and she also used a spear, so she could actually stand behind the six melees and stab through the gap. Jeanny gave him a glare to shut him up. The Man was not a stone-headed guy, he saw Jeanny's sincerity so he swallowed his pride and asked his subordinates to do as John had instructed.
