My Three Wives Are Beautiful Vampires-Chapter 948: A Little Problem.
After Victor left for his imposed high holidays, his wives began making preparations to fulfill his orders.
They established a hierarchy based on a militaristic monarchy, with the supreme commander, the queen, and the king holding total power at the top of the pyramid.
The hierarchy was structured as follows:
King and queen at the top, followed by the supreme commander, who commanded all military forces, followed by the generals, then the captains who essentially led a squadron, and finally the soldiers.
The command structure was intentionally kept extremely simple for a reason... All of this hierarchy was merely symbolic for Victor's subordinates to act in emergency situations or during operations. In reality, this hierarchy wouldn't change anything for the girls.
The reason for this is that all high-ranking positions, from generals to the supreme commander, would be composed of Victor's wives, and they treated each other like sisters. Minor conflicts did arise among them, after all, they were women with strong personalities, but these conflicts never escalated into true disagreements due to the girls' fear of disappointing Victor.
They preferred to keep him irritated rather than see him disappointed in them, an effect that only occurred in women for whom Victor was their deity. The Yanderes deeply cared about their partner's thoughts about them and wouldn't want to do anything to disappoint them, especially when that someone was Victor, who was always helping and taking care of them.
These effects became even stronger due to Victor's influence and his Yandere deity status. Essentially, the more women interacted with him, the more they would display Yandere characteristics and consequently become obsessed with their patron deity.
Regarding the hierarchy, it might seem like blatant nepotism (which it clearly was), but the reality was that all of Victor's wives were competent. Even Pepper, who seemed very 'innocent,' was capable of leading a squadron easily, as she had been trained by Scathach not only in martial arts but also in the art of war.
Not to mention that even if they didn't know basic strategies like Bruna, they were still true dragons whose powers were equivalent to several nuclear bombs combined.
In the primordial chaos, a newly born true dragon like Eve, for example, could destroy several kilometers of land with just her breath.
And this level of destruction became even stronger as the dragons grew stronger. An example of this was Victor and Jeanne themselves.
Because Victor was the strongest dragon, his dragon form's breath could easily destroy entire planets, and this result didn't even require him to make an effort to cause damage. If he used all of his powers and his immense amount of energy, everything in a straight line would be erased from existence, including stars and various celestial bodies in the cosmos.
A similar effect could be found with Jeanne, as she used primordial energy, an effect that passively increased each time she regained her own power.
A feat that Velnorah herself could replicate, although she wasn't as focused on raw power as Victor and Jeanne; she was still an Overlord from her former universe.
All the highest-ranked beings in The Dragon Nest were planet-destroying monsters, capable of reaching the level of entire solar systems and even entire galaxies if they used attacks like Victor did in his battle with the Elder God.
Although for now, the only ones with the destructive potential to destroy a galaxy were Victor and Jeanne, and that was because they were both abnormal beings. Jeanne, being a guardian of the universal tree connected to the primordial itself and created by the being that created the infinite universe.
And Victor, who had been a unique being since the primordial chaos, using opposing energies, making him a literal god of chaos. Of course, this doesn't take into account his nightmare form, which simply by existing, caused all the laws around him to completely unravel.
So, yes. The women were highly qualified for their positions.
With these plans in mind, preparations for everything were made in less than an hour. Along with Helena, who was called back from hell, were Eleonor, Gaia, a very jealous Demeter, and Hestia, a dragon goddess of architecture.
The construction of a headquarters on the outskirts of Victor's mansion was quickly completed. The headquarters was a perfect blend of construction by an intelligent being and nature.
Since this planet was their personal planet, the women took great care not to pollute it or harm the planet in any way. Even the animals they created were carefully designed to maintain the balance of everything.
Like the King's Bison, creatures that resembled Earth's bison but were twice the size of an elephant, with six legs - four in front and two in the back, a long tail, and a horn that emerged from their mouths, forming a kind of crown on their heads.
Despite their large size and intimidating appearance, they were herbivorous animals, meaning they were harmless as long as they weren't provoked.
These bison roamed in groups of ten and were responsible for clearing out old trees to make way for new tree saplings to grow.
Each creature in the meticulously created ecosystem by these goddesses had a role in nature, contributing to the planet and the overall natural balance. Of course, their mere existence also positively contributed to the surrounding nature since they were true dragons.
It's worth noting that such care pleased goddesses closely connected to nature like Gaia, Demeter, and Persephone herself.
No more pollution, no more exploiting the planet for resources; this was their paradise, and they wouldn't let anyone harm this place.
When this entire process was completed, they gathered once again in the command room.
"Let's begin the operation. Darling has given us the green light to do whatever we want as long as it doesn't harm the other races of the Norse pantheon," Violet began speaking.
Anna, who was by her side, looked around for a few seconds and nodded without saying anything. She had come here solely to observe and, in a way, to learn as well, as she was being trained to take over Violet's role in case she became indisposed for any reason.
"As a starting point, our main objective is to establish contact with the dwarves. It is imperative that we form an alliance with them first," Violet said as the holographic image of a dwarf formed in front of her, and her eyes turned to Scathach with an obvious intention for her to take charge of the situation.
Currently, Violet had completely assumed the role of Queen in the command structure, while Scathach took on the role of Supreme Commander. The roles of the others had not been defined yet, but they would likely become generals of some force still in the process of being established for their faction.
This, of course, considered that they would want to work in the army. The command structure itself was designed with wartime in mind, but there was also the civilian aspect of things that was solely responsible for administration. Violet was sure that most of the 'non-combatant' girls would gravitate towards that area.
A clear example of this was Aphrodite. Despite being a very powerful goddess, she wasn't a warrior or a soldier, so in the not-so-distant future, she would be taking on more administrative roles than she already was.
As mentioned before, this hierarchy was built only as a crutch in times of crisis or for mission purposes. For the girls, it wouldn't change anything, after all, they were sisters to each other.
Currently in the command room were Violet, Anna, Eleonor, Rose Aphrodite, Agnes, Natashia, Carmila, and Velnorah.
With the vast war experience of Scathach, Carmila, and Rose, they practically had the best team to solve any problem. The perspective of an ancient empress was also very welcome in this current situation, as she was accustomed to 'diplomacy.'
"Of course, even though the dwarves are a priority... considering their temperament toward races other than dwarves, the probability of any one of us here annihilating them out of existence is quite high. Therefore, we will maintain the same enthusiasm in pursuing the other races, especially the elves," Scathach spoke.
The temperaments of the dwarves were well-known to all the ancient beings present here, except for Velnorah, who hadn't interacted much with them. But even she had heard stories about how dwarves could be... well, racist.
Yes, no matter how much Scathach tried to sugarcoat the situation, it was common knowledge that they hated everything and everyone that wasn't dwarves. Fortunately, they have a good habit of listening to the strong, which prevented them from being eliminated by Odin.
"Thanks to our natural affinity with nature, the Light Elves and the Dark Elves will be much easier to deal with. Therefore, we will initially focus more on them, and then move on to the ice and fire giants." Scathach spoke as the hologram images in front of her updated to illustrate her words.
"One question... Why specifically the ice and fire giants now?" Agnes spoke.
"For the same reason as elves, they are easier" The person who responded was Aphrodite, as someone who has traveled through all the pantheons, her experience is very welcome in this situation.
"Despite being impetuous bastards, giants sincerely believe in strength, and in true dragons we are everything they consider strength." Aphrodite continued explaining.
Agnes nodded indicating that she understood.
"Our interaction with the races will happen in due time... But for now, we have to solve a small problem left by our husband." Violet took charge of everything again, and then the hologram changed to a woman with long curly black hair and sapphire green eyes.
"He restored Hela's formerly lost vitality... Consequently, the power on Hela's side grew stronger. We need to balance things, so that we can take advantage of the chaos caused by war."
"Not only that, it also solves a small problem caused by the END dragon." Violet spoke as she threw Victor's little problem into report form for all the girls to read.
"...Damn, Victor." Eleonor grunted. "Because where he goes, these problems tend to happen?"
Dimension collapsing? The primordials intervening? Encounter with Earth's world tree? Is this a 'small' problem for him?
'No wonder he was very tired.' Eleonor thought.
"He is indeed very unlucky... Or should I say lucky? After all, it was because of these same problems that he built the strength he has now." Scathach spoke.
