I so don't get it why they use skills in CGI that do nozt exist in the Game...
Thats like seeing a mcdonalds promotion telling you about that hamburger but you can't find it in any mcdonalds at all...

Nah, it's not protect the ability seems to be a technique known by the rebels perhaps it was something they all learned to be able to protect themselves and their allies against any form of attack. The same ability is seen used during the first LL CS as well as the last "main storyline" cutscene if I am not mistaken. The old man who seems to have quite the bit of power is able to harness it to create an enormous shield to protect a large vicinity of the area. This most likely means that the 4 rebels that we see from LL, Grida and Ulda will most likely be doing the same thing when the times comes for impact. The Miquote will generate her barrier to protect LL, the hyuran will protect Ulda and the Goofy Grida combo will protect Grida.

This will most likely explain why in one of the cutscene there is the "rebuilding hyrmstil" quest because the rebels only have the ability to protect certain areas aka the city-states so all the people living in the hamlets will most likely have to make refugee in the city states then work together to rebuild their homeland.

Meanwhile on the beastman side they will most likely use the power of their Primals to reduce as much damage as possible from their homeland.

It will definitely be interesting to see how things play out, though it is possible for us there could be a timeskip based on how dangerous the area around us is. The old man may place us in hibernation if he feels that the area in which he's erected the barrier for us is not enough to keep us safe and throw us forward in time to a point where there is no threat of Dalamud hurting us.

Coming from the Paladin its clearly Cover. Would look dumb if it just protected one member.
