I think you mean stay behind friendly lines.
You can just hit the mobs once then let the guards deal with them. Counts as a kill.

Description
The Scourge have overrun the shrine. The shrine's keeper, Dahlia Suntouch, is nowhere to be found. The red wyrms that fell in the shrine's defense now beset us in the form of twisted skeletal emberwyrms. The situation is dire, {race}. Captain Drayzen leads a group of your kind in stemming the flow of the Scourge out of the shrine. Go to his aid... but please stay behind his men. The flow of Scourge is endless and I don't want to lose you in one of those scarred canyons.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Report to the Ruby Dragonshrine
You are leaving to the Ruby Dragonshrine. This is not a request. The dragons are beset on all sides by the blue flight and the scourge... they're in no better a state than we are. It is not often we are afforded the opportunity to redeem ourselves for the transgressions of our ancestors.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Return to the Earth
I have another task that needs attention. I have brothers who are falling in the battle overhead and if we do not act quickly, they will only bolster the emberwyrm ranks. Get into the shrine through the pass in the south... the Scourge presence should be lighter there.
