Survival Queen of the Frozen Wastes novel Chapter 510

Chapter 510 Bait and Breach

“You won’t have to hand anything over Riley stood up, a clear plan already forming her mind.

The four survivors froze, utterly confused by her words.

Riley offered no further explanation. She simply turned and walked back to her group to issue orders.

Beneath their stunned gazes, she stepped boldly out of the altar’s shadow and led more than a dozen members straight onto the main path leading to the enemy outpost.

“Wait–are you crazy?! You’re marching straight to your deaths!” The young man in the shadows stamped his foot in frantic silence, too afraid to shout aloud. He could only watch helplessly as the group advanced toward certain peril.

Other scattered survivors hiding in the darkness poked their heads out, watching the advancing team with complicated

expressions.

Hope Guild had suffered their fair share of losses in this dungeon.

But as long as Riley stood at their head, the team never broke.

Riley held off on launching a direct assault. Instead, she split everyone into small squads.

“Don’t charge in as a single group. We’re going to pose as separate, unrelated stragglers. Keep a dozen steps between each batch.

“Hide all your high–tier gear first. Stow crossbows, longbows, and purple weapons in your Inventory. Only keep basic common–tier weapons visible.

“Those with the raggedest appearances go upfront. We look as desperate and worn down as possible.

“Once we’re close, form a line and wait. Hold your positions until I make the first move.”

She turned to LoneWolf and Stool. “You two blend into the second group. Target the left staircase–that’s where the first heavy ballista is positioned.”

Her gaze shifted to Hanna. “Your team takes the right side. Tear open their flank the second fighting starts.”

Hanna nodded firmly.

“RedBean, bring up the rear squad and stand by to rally everyone,” Riley instructed. “Once combat breaks out, shout loud and clear for all hidden survivors nearby that this blockade can be broken.”

RedBean blinked in surprise before catching on quickly. “You want the other trapped players to join the fight too?”

“They aren’t cowards,” Riley said, glancing at the shadowed figures lingering in the distance. “They just never saw an opening before.”

Anyone who had survived this long on Floor & possessed at least a shred of fighting spirit. They had simply been worn down. terrified, and broken by constant exploitation. Every solo attempt to charge the bridge had ended in death, leaving them too drained to resist.

Someone needed to strike the first blow and tear open a gap.

Once they saw the raiders bleeding, panicking, and retreating, these robbed, cornered survivors would know exactly which side to stand with.

The team began adjusting their formations and disguises at once.

Riley covered all her eye–catching equipment, leaving only her windbreaker and a plain white–quality dagger visible. She stowed her Storm Splitter Dual Axes and Armor–Piercing Crossbow securely in her Inventory.

The rest of the guild members followed suit, scattering their ranks.

They spread out in small clusters of two and three, emerging one after another from different hiding spots.

Riley led the first small group out into the open clearing directly before the outpost.

“Halt!”

A man behind the barricade leveled a crossbow and barked a lazy command.

True to expectations, the moment Riley’s group drew within two hundred yards of the defensive line, three heavy ballistas swiveled instantly to lock onto their position.

A burly brute with a venomous spider tattoo coiled around his forearm stepped out. He hefted a glowing purple warhammer and stared down at the approaching players with a mocking sneer.

“Hold it! No passage without tolls.”

Riley stopped in place, her guild members halting behind her while putting on a convincing show of nervous hesitation.

The brute scanned them slowly, his eyes lingering on their backpacks and weapons as a greedy grin tugged at his lips.

“Here to get into the safe hall?”

Riley nodded. “Yes.”

“You know the rules?”

“Heard we have to pay a resource toll.”

The man scoffed dismissively. “Heard doesn’t cut it. It’s mandatory. If you want inside the safe zone, you pay the price.

“Line up, single file. Drop all your supplies for inspection and set your weapons on the ground. Don’t try anything stupid. These ballistas aren’t just for show.”

His words drew mocking laughter from the other raiders behind the barricade.

“Nice, fresh batch today.”

“Looks like a big group. Should score some good loot.”
