The Castellan who was enjoying his girls on his bed was forced to stand up when a lot of ruckuses was happening outside his mansion. He was pissed as he was already enjoying the peak when everything started to get too chaotic that he has no choice but to stand up and check up on what is happening.
He assured the girls that he will be back and put on his underwear and robe before going out of his room and checking up on the situation.
"What the heck is going on? Why are there so many noises happening? Are you guys up to something ridiculous again?!"
However, he didn't hear any response from his guards. He didn't expect that his voice will not receive any response from his guards that are attentive enough to answer whenever he calls. He went outside and realized that the area is filled with black smoke. It was such a cloud of thick smoke that he thought that there is fire breaking out on his estate and so he activated water magic [Downpour] and let it disperse the smoke. But he then realized it didn't come from a fire but from a smoke bomb.
As soon as the cloud of smoke cleared up, the Castellan finally learns why the estate was so quiet and no one is answering his calls. The guards who should be guarding the place are all collapsed on the ground, too deep into the dreamland that even when the Castellan kicked them multiple times in the head and body that would normally make anyone wince in pain didn't even wake them up. They are still asleep and no amount of violence and noise could wake them up.
He looked around at why this was happening until he suddenly realized something. He turned to look at where his harvest from the other day should be sitting. He made sure it was fully guarded as tonight will be the night he will be doing a delivery to the City of the Clouds. It was a whole year of income from him due to its high-class quality vegetables and fruits packed inside the crates with pocket dimensions that can carry lots of weight and resources.
It was nowhere to be found. He is sure that the delivery is tonight but the moment he learned that those people who should be doing the delivery have gone to sleep, he quickly realized what happened. It was theft and his yearly income for the vegetables and fruits has been transferred to the void.

After we got far enough from the Castellan's mansion, we took all of the crates into our inventory and got rid of the cart itself by burning it up. It was necessary so that even if they managed to follow the tracks, they will just end up at a dead end after doing so.
I was thankful enough that I didn't resort to the emergency plans that I have to make sure the operation was a success but it's too bad I didn't get to properly use the abilities of the Saboteur to the fullest but it doesn't matter now that the quest is now complete.
"We should get out of here before anyone notices us," Sigma pulled out a teleport scroll as well as Harmless Sparrow. I also pulled out one of my own and tear it up, teleporting all three of us back to the small village of the rebels.
The village is still busy even at nighttime and it is understandable as they need all the time to make all of the things done as soon as possible. Most of them are working out their weapons and many other items that would be useful for the upcoming war that will be happening.
The three of us went back to the office of Alain. Currently, Alain is cleaning up his gear. Just from a single look at it, most of his armor is close to breaking and his sword is already reaching its limit. It just shows that he is not being choosy right now but he has no other choices left but this equipment only.
"We are back from our sabotage," Sigma entered the office while knocking on the open door to catch Alain's attention.
"Oh, you guys are back. So how is everything?" Alain is clearly anxious about the results.
"No worries. We finished the mission outstandingly and we managed to grab the cargo before anyone else can discover our presence. We have some minor setbacks at first but we easily bypassed them and escape with flying colors."
Sigma then turned to look at us and made a signal to pull out the crates.
"All of the goods are inside. Because it was a crate with a pocket dimension built inside, it is containing lots of resources. Here, this is just an example," I put my hand on the pocket dimension entrance of the crate and pull out an apple."
Seeing this, he can't help but cry.
"Finally, everyone will no longer need to die of hunger We can finally have enough food to feed everyone else. We will no longer have to beg from the rich and the powerful for a single scrap of food thrown by them! Thank you! Thank you all, so much."

We can't keep on stealing from those guys forever and supplies that were taken are not something that is forever supplied with the number of people here, it will only take a few months before the stock is gone.
"Yes, I know. We don't just plan to continue relying on food stolen from others. We also have to raise our food productivity by a notch. I already formulated a plan for it so this is no longer much of a problem," Alain answered.
"So that means the mission is complete? And you already have an idea of what we can do."
"I admit, I was skeptical about you guys but if you guys managed to grab all of these without getting detected from a fully guarded area like the Estate of the Castellan then that alone speaks for itself. You three are now officially part of the rebels. We look forward to working with you three."
As soon as he said those words, a panel appeared before us.
[You have chosen the Rebel Faction to ally with. All allied forces of the Rebel's army will now be capable of following your orders. You are now forbidden to enter the cities that are not yet conquered by the rebels. Conquer the faction of the angels and expand the forces and territory of the rebels to increase the power and notoriety of the faction. Finishing this storyline will result in gaining a special reward depending on the war's outcome. Please work hard to make the faction strong!]
And so, our entry to the faction of the rebels is now complete. And compared to the faction of the angels and the tactician, the rebels have the hardest difficulty managing. Depending on how many players will join this faction, the faction of the angels will have the most insane advantage and they are the most favored faction to win between the two. But since the other faction has yet to make their proper move, making the rebels stronger and their base much larger and stronger, it is good enough to defend itself is the next move we needed to make.
A headstart is a big advantage but we have to do it as quickly as possible too.
"Now that you guys are here, I will be going to issue missions that will increase your standing in the rebels. As you know, the more respected you are to everyone, the better they will view all of you in a good way. Not only that, but this will also help a lot to help out everyone who needs help. There are some missions that I will be posting that are easier and those missions will take some time to finish up. There will be also some missions that I will be going to issue that involve weakening the angel faction."
"So all kinds of missions are available for us and depending on the mission we take, the more reputation we will get every time we complete the job?" Harmless Sparrow asked.
"Precisely. If we want to stop all of the plans the Tactician, the Castellan and the Pope himself are brewing while in the background, we will have to weaken their links, destroy all of the things that will make them stronger, and make sure they will be having a hard time recovering. Once we weakened them enough, we will take over the cities one by one, liberate them from the control of the three powerhouses, and let them learn the truth behind their rulings. It is time to strike back against the oppressors!"
