Midnight Manguini and Goyling are the bosses of this part of the story. Both enemies are aggressive and will always go on the offensive, so make sure to have a dedicated healer or two and raise everyone's defenses before approaching this battle.
You can target Goyling first, as it's the only enemy with an exploitable weakness. Use Flying Knee to deal heavy damage against it, and leave Midnight Manguini for last.
