Chapter 515 Bloody Provocation

Multiple teams closed in on Riley’s entrance from different directions.

They moved fast, but they never merged into a single tight group.

Each small squad kept a clear gap from the others.

They were supposed to fight together, yet every single side watched their own backs.

There were no true, solid alliances in this dungeon.

The four checkpoints had cooperated only because everyone got a cut of the looted supplies. Now that their profits were ruined, they would team up to take revenge on Riley. But when real fighting started, none of them wanted to charge in first and die.

Riley had seen this coming long ago.

Exactly 20 minutes had passed since they broke through the blockade.

Bruce hammered the last wooden wedge tight on the second ballista and wiped sweat from his brow.

“Two are fully functional. One’s just for show. All angles are set. They can cover the entire front tunnel if we fire.”

“That’s enough.”

Riley stood behind the barriers, watching the distant figures steadily draw closer.

LoneWolf slipped back from the side shadows and lowered his voice.

“They’re here. Three groups, roughly 80 men total. Solid gear, but their formation’s a mess.”

Ketchup slung her light crossbow over her shoulder.

“Looks like they aren’t letting this easy loot spot go without a fight.”

Hanna glanced back toward the entrance.

More survivors were still rushing over nonstop.

Some panted hard after running all the way from the other checkpoints.

Some supported wounded teammates, practically dragging them forward. Panic spread through the crowd as they sensed enemies closing in, and their line threatened to fall apart.

Riley walked to the very front.

She didn’t hide behind cover. She stood outside the entrance, shielding the rushing survivors behind her.

A full squad from Hope Guild stepped forward behind her.

Their numbers were small.

But behind them stood restored defenses, heavy ballistas on the high platform aimed outward, and more guild members ready to

reinforce at a moment’s notice from the hall entrance.

The incoming survivors slowed their steps the second they saw Riley standing firm.

Someone whispered, “She’s not going inside?”

No one answered.

But they quickly understood. She was holding the line so they could get in safely.

The 80 raiders came to a halt in the tunnel.

The man with the beast–hide pauldron led the pack. His angry expression faltered when he saw Riley still guarding the entrance.

He’d assumed Hope Guild would rush straight into the central hall to rest after breaking the blockade. In that case, his group could only yell threats from outside, too afraid to attack with the safe zone rules in play.

But Riley hadn’t fled inside.

Far from it. She’d fully fortified the position again.

Half the barriers were rebuilt, narrowing the entry path. Three ballistas dominated the high ground. Hope Guild members stood in tight formation, and crossbowmen in the rear were already reloading their weapons.

This was not a worn–out team fresh off a fight.

This was a team waiting for them. Even more shocking, they’d fixed the entire checkpoint and still refused to charge survivors supplies.

The beast–hide man’s face turned ugly.

“Hope Guild?”

Riley met his gaze calmly. “What do you want?”

“You smashed our checkpoint and you’re asking what I want?”

“Yours?” Riley’s tone stayed flat. “Did you stamp your name on it?”

Every enemy member’s expression darkened at once.

One man behind the beast–hide guy shouted, “Quit wasting words! Take it back by force!”

He yelled, but his feet never moved forward an inch.

Everyone could see a frontal assault was a terrible idea.

They had the numbers, but the ballistas would tear through their ranks the second they charged.

Hope Guild held the high ground and solid defenses. Worse, all the rescued survivors stood nearby watching. If Hope Guild held firm, those desperate players would definitely join the fight again.

The 80 raiders froze in place.

Riley did not make the first move either.

A tense silence hung in the air.

Right then, seven or eight more survivors sprinted out of a side tunnel.

They’d clearly fled from another checkpoint, looking terrified. One man had half a bolt stuck in his leg, barely staying upright with his friends holding him up.
