There was little point in looking for the enemies in silence. They couldn't afford to let them approach the village and damage the place. So, even though that would reveal their positions, Verkan and his soldiers proceeded as fast as possible to stop the enemies. Zaos was several meters behind them. Verkan gave him the order to stay away from the enemies' sight and attack them from a good position once the battle starts.
"Focus on protecting yourself. Make sure to attack from a place they can't see you," Verkan told him. "Do not do anything even if you see some of us dying. You will prevent many more deaths by making sure that you will use your magic freely."
