Moen naturally felt obligated to be the leader of the alliance, and there was no reason for him to refuse.
Moreover, apart from Moen, there was indeed no one else suitable, no one who could command respect, and no one who was foolish enough to stand up and compete with him.
After the leader of the alliance is selected, some corresponding rules and regulations will naturally need to be formulated.
First, there's the issue of the term of office: four years per term, followed by a re-election. Moen had no objections to this; he had enough confidence in himself.
Based on Fairy Tail's position in this massive chain of interests, and based on Moen's own strength, charisma, and interpersonal relationships, as long as there are no major changes, such as Fairy Tail going out of business or Moen losing all his power, his position as the leader of the alliance will be no different from his lifelong status.
The next meeting was chaired by the newly appointed leader, Moen. Everyone brainstormed and began to formulate various rules for the standardized "Feimo Alliance," allocate various management powers, and at the same time, several "vice leaders" were elected.
Goldman, Bob, Obah Barbasoma, and Makarov were elected with high votes, forming the top decision-making circle of the "Fairy Demon Alliance" along with four vice leaders and one leader, Moen.
Actually, the changes aren't that significant. The original "Fiore Alliance" was basically controlled by these few groups. Strength is always a crucial component of influence. The "Fiore Alliance" is now vying with the "Magic Council" for influence and autonomy in the "Fiore Kingdom" because the entire alliance is strong enough.
If it were a small country, one with a weak magical culture and few "Mage Guilds," they wouldn't dare to mess with the "Magic Council," no matter how much courage they had.
In an incredibly enthusiastic atmosphere, this "Phimo Alliance President's Regular Meeting" lasted for a full week, and everyone worked together to come up with a more specific charter for the "Phimo Alliance".
It's clear that everyone cares a lot about this "Fiore's Own Magician League" and feels a strong sense of belonging. This is how it is during its growth phase; everyone is full of confidence.
After the meeting, everyone went home, all hoping that Moen would bring good news, good news after communicating with the "Magic Council".
The official change of the "Phi Magic Alliance" naturally required notification to the "Magic Council." It wasn't an official announcement, but a private, closed-door meeting where Moen directly met with the council members.
Everyone in the "Feomagic Alliance" naturally hopes to reach a consensus with the "Magic Council" as Moen suggested, to avoid conflict as much as possible, achieve a peaceful transition, and allow the "Feomagic Alliance" to directly replace the "Magic Council's" branch in the "Feomagic Kingdom".
After leaving the "Phi-Magic Alliance" meeting venue, Moen went directly to the headquarters of the "Magic Council". He had already notified "Speaker" Gran Doma and requested that the other party convene a "Council Meeting".
Moen was quite familiar with the headquarters of the "Magic Council," having been there many times before. He easily entered a small, private conference room, where the white-bearded Speaker, Gran Doma, was already waiting for him.
"President Moen, what brings you here today?"
Upon seeing Moen enter the meeting room, Gulan Doma spoke first, hoping to understand the situation and Moen's purpose before convening the other "councilors" for the meeting.
"I have something to tell you."
Moen casually found a seat at the conference table and then succinctly explained the situation.
, "
After hearing about the "Phimo Alliance," Speaker Gulan Doma fell silent.
The old man had a white beard, and you couldn't really see the change in his expression unless you looked closely, but you could tell without thinking that he must be in a terrible mood, after all, this was really cutting into the flesh of the "Magic Council".
"President Moen, isn't this a bit inappropriate?"
Gulan Doma remained silent for a while, but couldn't help speaking up.
"What's wrong with it? Just tell me, we can discuss it."
Moen was very friendly, and seemed to think that everything was negotiable.
"this...

Guran Dorma was taken aback by Moen's question. He felt that "nothing was right" about the matter, but could he just say it out loud?
It was obvious that Moen had come here to inform them that the matter of the "Feimo Alliance" was already a fait accompli.
Even if they strongly oppose it, can they really disband the "Phimo Alliance" directly? That's obviously impossible.
"The Magic Council is responsible for managing the entire Ishgar Magic World, a tradition that has lasted for hundreds of years. The Magic Council has always been dutiful and worked hard to maintain order."
Making such a sudden change, removing the entire magical world of the Kingdom of Fiore from the Magic Council's control, is probably inappropriate both morally and logically, and would cause turmoil throughout the magical world.
After some deliberation, Gulan Doma shared his thoughts.
The old man's words weren't sharp; he seemed to be seriously discussing things with Moen, clearly not wanting things to get out of control.
"How could you... say that..."

Gulan Doma's platitudes made Moen want to facepalm. Was the old man serious? Was he hallucinating from being carried away?
"The Tower of Paradise incident and the Oración Seis incident—within this year, the Magic Council has made two major mistakes, even requiring a complete restructuring. I'm not trying to nitpick, but the claim of being dutiful and responsible is really hard to believe."
Moen shook his head and retorted directly, which made Gran Doma's lips twitch. The "Tower of Paradise" incident could be said to be the predecessor's fault, but the "Oraclese" incident was undeniable. It was indeed because they failed to fulfill their responsibilities.
Jellal is practically the nemesis of the Magic Council. Both of these incidents were related to him. He had previously infiltrated the Magic Council and even managed to become one of the Ten Wizard Saints and a council member. After the incidents came to light, he directly caused the Magic Council to lose face.
The reorganized Magic Council has been working hard to rebuild people's trust and confidence in it, but their efforts have only been short-lived. The Oración Seis (Shoguns of the Six Seis) raided the prison, releasing a host of criminals, including Jellal...
The Magic Council suffered another humiliating defeat, its newly rebuilt prestige vanished in an instant. In the end, it was only through the combined forces of Fairy Tail and several other mage guilds that they managed to defeat the Oración Seis's dark guild alliance, thus washing away the shame and finally regaining their pride.
"The Tower of Paradise, the Oración Seis, and even the Edolas incident—it was all the work and manpower of our Fiore Kingdom's Mage Guild that mattered. It was our Fiore Magic Alliance members who fought to the death. Speaker Gran Doma, I'm really curious, how can you have the nerve to tell us that the Magic Council was 'dutiful and dedicated'?"
Looking at Guran Dorma, Moen asked the question in a calm tone.
Moen's meaning was very straightforward: the "Fairy Tail Alliance" was the one who truly fulfilled their duties and did their best. They, the "Fairy Tail" and the mage guild of the Kingdom of Fiore, had already done more than enough for the "Magic Council".
No matter what major events occurred, the mage guilds of the Kingdom of Fiore never backed down, consistently achieving MVP and C in every match. On the contrary, the "Magic Council" never made any significant contribution, acting as a mere bystander and a pure example of someone who simply coasted through to victory.
"this..
""
The facts presented by Moen left Gulan Doma speechless. He wanted to defend himself, but he couldn't find any direction or examples to support his argument.
This made Gulan Doma pale. He realized that the "Phimo Alliance's" request seemed to be completely reasonable, and even gave them face. Their "Magic Council" was really like sucking blood from the "Phimo Alliance".
"We are only asking to replace the Fiore Kingdom branch, not to break away from the Magic Council. When it's time to contribute our manpower and resources, we will not shirk our responsibilities. You can rest assured about that. It's not for any other reason than that we are the maintainers of order, and we stand on the side of justice and fairness."
Seeing that Gran Doma was speechless after he had spoken, Moen then eased the atmosphere by saying that the "Fel Magic Alliance" would take the substance, but the face would still be left to the "Magic Council".
Moen's words softened Gran Doma's expression somewhat. This was good news amidst bad news: the "Feomagic Alliance" was still part of the "Magic Council," albeit in a semi-independent state, and the Fiore Kingdom region was managed independently by them.
"The relationship between us hasn't changed much from before. If the Magic Council has any needs in the future, just contact me directly. I am the first leader of the Fel Magic Alliance."
Moen went on to say that from now on, the "Fairy Alliance" would be fully responsible for liaison with the "Magic Council," rather than any specific guild below it.
"As for the original employees of the Fiore Kingdom branch, we will accept all those who are willing to stay, and we will not force those who do not want to stay. The general management framework and laws will not change, since everyone is already familiar with these things."
The "Fiore Kingdom Branch of the Magic Council" has also come up with a solution: to accept it entirely.
If you're talking about replacing something, you mean completely replacing it. The branch's structure and staff were already well-established, but the newly formed "Feimo Alliance" actually lacked these things. They weren't going to completely reject the "Magic Council," so they could naturally take over and continue using these.
"That's great, it will save a lot of trouble."
Gulan Doma finally nodded. Everything in the "Fiore Kingdom" branch was taken over by the "Fiore Alliance". This was a good thing for them. Otherwise, if they lost the "Fiore Kingdom", they would have to find a way to rearrange the branch's employees.
Clearly, Gran Doma has accepted reality. The replacement of the "Fiore Kingdom Branch" by the "Fiore Alliance" is an unchangeable fact. Now, all that needs to be done is to minimize the impact.
It has to be said that Moen and the "Feimo Alliance" had made very thorough arrangements, taking into account everything that could be considered, leaving him with no idea how to optimize them further.
"How is it? Is it acceptable now?"
After explaining everything, Moen smiled and looked at Gulan Dorma.
"What can we do if we don't accept it?"
Speaker Gulan Doma smiled helplessly.
"I must admit, the Magic Council is indeed too reliant on Fairy Tail and the mage guilds of the Kingdom of Fiore, which is not a good sign."
Guran Dorma has just reflected on this, and it is indeed a big problem.
If the Magic Council hadn't relied so heavily on Fairy Tail and the Fiore Kingdom's mage guilds, he could have stood up straight and debated with Moen instead of being rendered speechless. Gran Dorma was ultimately a decent person, and faced with the undeniable facts, he immediately deflated.
"It's alright, we'll still be on the same side from now on, but you'd better work hard. We still have many enemies: the world-destroying black dragon, Zeref who has lived for countless years, and the empire that is stirring up trouble across the sea."
Moen stood up, smiled, and patted Gran Doma on the shoulder. He felt that the Magic Council had been living in peace for too long and was seriously lacking in a sense of crisis. It needed something to give it a good jolt.
Of course, it's all too common for such a behemoth, which has existed for so long, to have various internal problems.
"Zeref...Do black dragons really exist?"
Upon hearing Moen mention several opponents, Gulan Doma asked with slight hesitation.
These figures, which only exist in legends, especially the "Black Dragon," have reappeared in people's mouths thanks to Moen's propaganda, but no one has actually ever seen one.
"I'm not in the mood to make fun of this kind of thing."
Moen's serious reply dispelled any remaining doubts from Guran Dorma.
The old man was deeply shocked. He felt that something was wrong with the world starting from X784. So many major events had happened in that year, even Zeref and the "World-Destroying Black Dragon" had appeared. Was this world going to end?
"Let's convene a council meeting."
Moen reminded the dazed Guran Dorma.
"Okay, let's hold the meeting now. I will explain things to everyone."
Gran Doma snapped out of his reverie and replied seriously that he had figured it out. Especially in times like these, they couldn't afford to lose Fairy Tail or Fairy Alliance. Although relying on them was shameful, it was better than actually going to die.
The demands of the "Phi-Magic Alliance" are not unreasonable compared to their contributions. They simply want more autonomy, not a genuine desire to part ways with the "Magic Council".
Strength and dominance are the reasons why the "Phi Magic Alliance" dares to make these demands. As the weaker party, the "Magic Council" has no choice but to endure it if it doesn't want to really break off relations.
Gran Doma couldn't help but sigh in his heart, how did our "Magic Council" fall to this state?
