Well, they "can", but it can also happen that you lose some FoD's if they go in alone.

If you send 10-15 blessed Eagle Warriors with the 5 FoD's, then you are much less likely to lose any FoD's, and much more likely to win the battle with only a few Eagle Warriors lost.

Moreover, if you include some slave decoy fodder and a group of regular troops with slings and/or javelins who are just starting to engage the enemy main body when you fliers hit, you have an almost guaranteed chance of defeating a computer-led force in detail, with minimal losses. In my Mictlan SP game, my Mictlan human troops have been quite long-lived, as have my demons, because the humans almost never have to fight a pitched battle to the end, although they do participate and help.

Blessed Sun Warriors can fight pretty well, too, especially after they have experience.
