Midas spoke at length about many matters. He understood that he had yet to gain the trust and admiration of these new subordinates, but he wasn't going to let that affect his own demeanor toward them.
He first spoke about the fruitfulness of joining his side. And those who were already under him nodded along with agreement.
After that, Midas spoke about himself for a few seconds, about his rise, his goals, and his plans.
By the end, he formed a pact with all trolls and goblins present.
Finally, Midas finished his speech with a message.
"Despite my promise of prosperity for those who live under me, such a gift can only be maintained through courage. What I mean by this is that when you decide to serve under me, all of you must have the courage to wage war. To fight!" Midas paused, "To die..." He said in a low tone.
A few gasps and groans murmured in the crowd.
Trolls and goblins shot skeptical glances at themselves.
