Transmigrated as a Ghost

Outside the Rebellion's main base just a couple hours after Lyra and Marcus had arrived and begun negotiations with the king of Borealia. A lone figure stood high up in the sky staring down at the entrance into the mountain where the base was hidden.

'So, this is where they have been hiding. Finally, I can put an end to this rebellion and discipline my foolish apprentice.'

…

With Lady Tesia who Marcus could tell had the respect of the other rebel captains vouched for him and the Kingdom of Borealia, Marcus could see that the mood in the room shifted.

"To answer your question Lady Tesia, Borealia has offered to give us near infinite supplies. We would receive enough food to feed all of our members, magic cores to maintain magic devices and formations, as well as weapons and armor. Princess Daniela will also publicly join our cause which will certainly give us more support from the more moderate nobles and the public. Unfortunately, as for any sort of troops or manpower they cannot provide that, or they would break their contract with the adventurers guild.

Marek then paused a moment before looking towards Marcus and saying, "However, this young man who came as a messenger will be able to aid us. He is apparently not a true agent of the kingdom and is acting on his own as far as the king is concerned. Also, I was told that he is an excellent forgemaster that could work with even adamantine and is known to be able to make top tier mithril weapons. He will make a useful addition to our cause."

As Marek finished speaking Lyra cleared her throat to get everyone's attention and said, "I would like all of you to know that Jed here is greater in strength to me as well. His skills will truly be invaluable."

Hearing this some of the captains went wide eyed since Lyra's power was within the top twenty in the whole rebellion.

In fact, of the captains here, around half of them were unsure if they could beat her in a fight.

"Now should we put it to a vote on whether we wish to accept the Kingdom of Borealia's aid." Marek said.

Quickly the captains began raising their hands with nine consenting and three against.

"Very well, we will enter into the agreement with Borealia. I know that this may not be what any of us imagined but it is our best chance to make this kingdom better. And for some to get the justice they want."

With that the decision had been made for the rebellion and the kingdom of Borealia to join forces.

However, there was one question on most of the captain's minds.

"Okay so how are we going to receive these supplies. Obviously if Borealia tried sending in caravans they would be noticed and apprehend." One of the captains who was a lithe looking cat beastman said.

Nevertheless, upon hearing this Marek smiled and looked at Marcus and said, "This young man has a large item box and will be transporting the supplies for us. I have been told that he can make round trips from the border to any of our bases in a day and has an almost zero percent chance of being caught."

With skeptical looks everyone stared at Marcus, who in turn opened his item box an unloaded the massive fridge he stored with in.

Seeing this most of the captains went wide eyed since this fridge was already around the size of a medium item box itself.

None of them had an item box of this level, a couple of them not even having items boxes at all.

In fact, the only ones here with an item box bigger than small was Lyra and Tesia who both had a medium one.

After that no one questioned Marcus' ability to transport massive amounts of goods, though he was not sure if that was what he wanted to be known for.

Having finished up their discussion Marek picked back up Marcus' sending stone and once again contacted the king.

"I have finished conferring with my captains and the majority were in agreement with accepting your kingdom's aid. When would you like to sign a formal contract?"

Yet as the king was about to say something a grunt was heard on the other end of the sending stone and a new feminine voice began speaking out to Marek.

"Hello there Tralenstein rebel chief. It appears that the king forgot to account for something, so I have stepped in. Now, this is a very important question and if you cannot answer it or the answer is unfavorable, we are done here. What is Motis' stance on your rebellion?"

His expression going sharp Marek wondered who this newcomer was, but more importantly how they knew about Motis.

"Might I inquire as to who I am speaking? I thought that I was negotiating with the king of Borealia, but I do not recognize your voice."

"Who I am does not matter. Motis what is his stance? Tell me quickly or I am ending these negotiations right now." The voice on the end of the sending stone said quickly and with no room for argument.

Sighing Marek picked up the sending stone and said, "Lord Motis is taking a neutral stance. I have heard that the king has beseeched his help multiple times but was turned away each time. He will not get involved in our internal conflict."

"Very good. Then you can continue your negations with Aaren. Oh, and if you win, go tell Motis that Gwyneira wants to speak with him."

A moment later the sending stone went quiet for just an instant before a conversation that was not meant to be heard was transmitted.

"Aaren I just made sure you did not accidently anger a mythic grade magical beast. Here you can get back to your negotiations. Now I am going to take a nap. In these recent weeks I have been having to work too hard."

After that the king began discussing the finer details with Marek, and soon the two of them had agreed on a date in which Marek would crossover to Borealia and sign a formal contract with the king, as well as Daniela and Eis.

The captains then began talking amongst each other and some of them had approached Marcus and Lyra.

Yet before any conversations got very far a loud crashing sound was heard outside the tower.

Hearing this all of the captains along with Marcus rushed out of the tower to see that a large amount of dirt and rocks that had collapsed in from above, leaving a large hole in the roof of the hidden underground base.

And as the dust of this collapse settled a solitary figure could be seen standing there, and all of the captains went wide eyed with fear and astonishment.

"Ah Marek, Tesia, and Jadzia, there you are." The man said with a confident smile on his face.

"The king told me to bring the three of you back. He said that if you returned to the kingdom and turned over all of the other rebels that he would be willing to give you amnesty. Now Jadzia come back to your master's side.. You have already played around at this foolish rebellion for long enough."
