Surviving the Game as a Barbarian

The founding ceremony was held in an empty mansion in the Imperial City.

It was a place that a certain count had been using as a villa, but he had to put it up for sale due to financial difficulties.

There was no need for a lavish ceremony, so they just set up a banquet and invited thirty expedition members and their sponsors.

And...

'It ended quickly.'

The formal part of the ceremony only took about 40 minutes.

The sponsors, including the Marquis, gave speeches encouraging and supporting the expedition.

"I'm sure you've heard enough about saving the country and being heroes, so I'll keep it short."

"Kill a lot."

"And earn a lot."

My speech, as the expedition leader, only lasted about 10 seconds.
