This would be obvious except for the precedence set by the Flying ability with disengage that Taelord has been ruled to have simply because the card lacks the statement that Taelord will take leaving engagement attacks.
Roman Legionnaires' Shield Wall:
When defending with a Roman Legionnaire, add 1 defense die for each other adjacent Roman Legionnaire up to a maximum of +2 dice, for the Shield Wall power.
Parmenio's Sacred Band Defy Death 15
When an adjacent Sacred Band figure receives one or more wounds, roll the 20-sided die before removing that figure. If you roll a 15 or higher, ignore any wounds.
The basis making this question valid is the face that in neither case do the abilities state 'friendly', 'your' nor 'you control'.
I did not add the Zettian Guards, as Jason is correct, the bonus would be nullified by engagement as they do not have a Special Attack ability.

Malechi, I would like to see discussion of benefitting friendly figs included in this, as that would impact the Zettian and close the line of question as the cards are open as to who they benefit. This is noted in your closing statement about 'friendly', 'your' and 'you control'
Has anyone gone through the rest of the cards? I've been trying to address things on the boards and stalled at dw9k.
<edit>As far as I can tell on the remaining cards the special powers all include one of the qualifiers 'friendly', 'your', and 'you control'</edit>
