[Groundwork to Escape]

“Bruhihiin!!”

Diedur let out a loud neigh and stomp on the ground with his huge hoofs.

Due to the vibration, the crowd of beastmen and white robed people who are trying to surround us is broken up.

The earth golem made by Dayle jumps into the broken-up crowd, further breaking the crowd apart.

“Marco-dono! We’re escaping!”

“Frick-dono!?”

I pull the surrounded Marco on top of Diedur and run through the broken-up crowd as if weaving through them.

At worst, I’ll have Marco ride on Diedur alone and have them leave.

If I am alone, I can probably make do with my magic and sword somehow after all.

But if those things awake, I’m sure I’ll have a bitter fight again…

I see Marco’s frustrated face looking at the pursuing white robed people.

“Sorry, Marco-dono. I can’t let you throw your life away. Become a cloud that invites one to sleep and manifest in the surroundings. Sleep Cloud.”

The cloud of Sleep Cloud, which area of effect narrowed down to the limit, spring forth on Marco’s face.

“Frick-dono!? What are you——”

I tie Marco’s body, who was attacked by sleepiness and lost consciousness, to Diedur so that he won’t fall.

“Diedur, I’m sorry, but please send Marco-dono to the village with your full speed.”

“Bruhihiin?”

Diedur, who is running away from the pursuit of the pursuers, asked, “What are you going to do?”

“I will repel the pursuers. There is Dayle anyway, and when it’s time to escape, I will call Dimol, so don’t worry about me. And make sure to pick up Cinzia-sama too.”

“Bruhihiin!”

Having heard my words, Diedur nods as if saying, “Got it.”

“Then, I leave them to you!”

After jumping off Diedur, I take a stance with Dayle in my hand, standing in front of the pursuers.

“Dayle, please support me with the earth golem.”

[Understood—!]

Dayle manipulates the earth golem that was chasing after Diedur and have it charge toward the pursuer.

“Be clad in my mana, and take the form of human. Summon Golem.”

In order to block the pursuers, I also activate Summon Golem and create more than a dozen golems.

[Master… are those… yours?]

“That’s right! I’m still practicing in modeling after all!”

Facing Dayle’s golem’s modeling make me think that I have to practice more.

“Uwa! What are these things! Disgusting!”

“Monsters are attacking!”

“These guys are unexpectedly strong! Gufu!”

The golems, which look like zombies, knock down the pursuing beastmen and white robed people one after another.

Nevertheless, the pursuers are flooding the passage leading to the exit, so I decide to neutralize the opponent with a ranged magic.

“Become a cloud that invites one to sleep and manifest in the surroundings. Sleep Cloud.”

The generated white cloud spreads in the center of the group, and they collapse to the ground with clattering noises.

[Master! There are many of those unpalatable things from some time ago coming this way!]

Dayle issue a warning, so I turn my gaze toward the fortress in the back.

There, I see the figures of ten Abyss Walkers, which look the same as the ones attacking the remains of the campground, with a cylindrical object in each of their hands.
