For now, I pushed the thought aside and turned my attention back to the gathered goblins.
"As for the rest of you," I said, raising my voice enough for everyone to hear, "let me introduce your new brothers."
I gestured toward the group that had arrived with me. "This is Thok, Gobbo, Zonk, Dribb, and Sir Narg." I motioned to the goblin standing proudly beside me. "He's my second-in-command. His orders are my orders."
Narg's wrinkled face brightened immediately.
He straightened his back and bowed deeply, his voice booming with enthusiasm.
"Chief, you honor me! Truly, you do. But…" he trailed off, scratching the back of his head nervously.
"Putting the Chosen under my authority…" He whispered.
I gave him a knowing look.
He was trying to tell me it's a bad idea, but there was no need to worry.
"Don't worry," I said, waving a hand dismissively. "They only listen to me anyway. If you ever need something done, just tell me, and I'll make sure it happens."
