Spendthrift leader

"Announce this to everyone." Liam confidently declared.

"Every squad leader will get a gold coin and every platoon leader will get 10 gold coins as an additional reward for every single successful invasion mission."

"Along with that, every demon soldier participating in the invasion missions will also get a silver coin each." His voice rang crisply in the huge hall. 

The dozen demons standing in the hall were instantly stupified. They couldn't believe what they were hearing. 

1 silver coin for each demon soldier?

1 gold coin for each squad leader?

Many gold coins for platoon leaders?

Such an announcement was unprecedented. Completely unheard of!

Did their new leader perhaps misspeak? 

Did he mean to say silver coins and not gold coins?

The demon opened and closed his mouth wordlessly, waiting for the new leader to correct himself, but that never happened.
