Not really. In making terms they are Mooks, the standard issue soldiers the serie's big badguy has at his disposal. Now, to be frank, we have to separate them into book and anime versions. In the books, which focus's on whit, puzzles, and intelect, the Grey Guards are, perhaps not competent, but extremely dangerous, using slings (the anceint weapon, not slingshots) to throw these eggs filled with a very dangerous poison. A drop getting on your skin will​ kill you, so Knights in Armor, which Deltora does have, are no good. The Guards in the books, also have daggers as weapons, and are, maybe not to Captain America's level, but they are super human. The Grey Guards of the anime are different. As the anime focus's on combat, not whit, they are make weaker so the characters can actually fight them, which is not realisticaly possible in the books.
