Chapter 201: The Holy War of Light and Darkness (25) The Coronation of the Betrayer
(6) Temporary setbacks
Borrowing the blood of the rebels, in 1287 A.D., Ekosi became a core member of the Chromie group, and was rarely in the limelight for a while.
Fortunately, perhaps even the fallen ancestral gods looked down on the arrogance of the Echoi, and punished the dead and wounded in the ugly betrayal, giving Echoy a blow to the head when Echoy had just climbed to the core of power.
In 1288, Milos died at the age of 76, this time for real.
With Chromie's death, the new captain of the Grand Army, Suffordor (51), did not like Ekosi, and he was quickly stripped of important positions and pushed out of Frankier's core because of his young age (31).
In addition to Frankir's internal struggle for power, there is also the last righteous man among Frankier, who launched a counterattack against Ekosi, but unfortunately this operation is the last success of the righteous man.
[Positional bias aside, this passage is generally not wrong, with the death of Chromie, Ekosi was ostracized, but the real reason for the exclusion has not yet been determined.] 】
(7) The bloody road to rise
Despite being ostracized, he did not give up his desire to reach the highest power. He stayed in Black Persia and reached out to all corners of Franknir through the Shadow Organizations that were friendly to him, making sure he knew every important news.
And the situation in Franknier at this time also gave Ekosi a chance.
With Dodi quelling the uprising in the western military town, Farkyu and Fasium also initially recovered from the last war, and under the union of the god of hunting, the three kingdoms gathered into the first anti-Farnir siege network to wage war against Farnir in order to punish the unrighteous Farnier.
At the same time, the remnants of the righteous also revolted within Franknier, and joined forces with the foreign intervention forces.
Faced with the actions of the righteous man, the ruler of Franknir was terrified. Through the intercession of the Shadow Order, the idle Ekosi was once again activated by Saffordo and appointed as an independent legion commander to lead an army into battle.
After the reconquest of Ekosi, the first thing to do was to conquer Fez, once again, and to secure the vital site of Messis. This was quickly accomplished by Ekosi through the combination of the inside and outside of the shadow organization.
[Here is a quote on why Messis are important, the original text can refer to the paper "One Hundred Years of Messis"]
[Frannier's occupation of the Messis means that he can cross the Ranirsham Mountains at any time and insert a wedge in the heart of Farsium.] When Franknir wants to deal with Fasium, as long as he pushes a little that wedge, the core of Fashum will be instantly plunged into war. 】
[And the reason why Fez's existence is still controlled is because the meaning of Fez's existence is to ensure that the wedge of Messis will not become an isolated city hanging overseas and besieged by the other party. 】
[A famous general of Fasime later once said, and a famous general of Farnir once said, "If you want to defend the Messis, you must ensure that Fes is not lost," in the words of the divine realm, that is, "To defend the river must be guarded."] And this is also the reason why Fashim, after suffering a heavy defeat, still breathed a sigh of relief and must join the Franknier siege network. 】
After the reconquest of Fez, Acesy was transferred out of the Messis, the result of the intrigues of the despicable group of Frankel, who had been in the Messis for a long time, and Suffodo was not comfortable keeping Acxie in the eastern part of the Lennirshum Mountains for a long time.
As a result, after leaving the battlefield, Ekosi was transferred to the Western Wartown, where the Dodi army was a well-armed man, and the Farkoyu, who deeply resented Flannier. According to Suffordor's estimates, Ekosi, who had no real talent, should have died there.
However, Suffordo did not expect that Ekoshi had secretly colluded with Dodi.
Although Dodi's Tijik family participated in the war, they were far more interested in profiting from Fakyu than in attacking Faranir. After doing so, the Tijik clan feared that the god of the hunt would settle accounts with them, so they began to carry out the plan of raising their own self-esteem under the bewitchment of the shadow organization.
The so-called self-respect of the Kou is to deliberately lose in this war, make unconditional peace with Farnir, so that the god of hunting does not dare to overthrow the Tijik family, and make Dodi fall into a civil war, so as not to make Farnir bigger.
The Tijik family believed in the Shadows' proposals, and as a result, repeatedly feigned defeat in the battles between the western military towns and the Ekosis. And they didn't know that this idea was actually from Ekosi, and they didn't know that their move made Ekosi gain supreme status in the country, so that after the war, Suffordo would not dare to exile Ekosi as soon as the civil war was over, as he did last time.
[This is doubtful.] First, there is no evidence that the Tijik family's self-respecting move was a trick from the shadow organization. Second, Ekosi's military strength is indeed grossly underestimated. It is understandable that the inside and the outside should be combined, the shadow organization should be organized, and the opponent should release water, but how can it be that every victory of Ekosi is in the historical materials of Fashim, and the enemy is successful in releasing water and combining inside and outside? 】
At this time, by cooperating with the Tijik family, Ekosi did a big thing to change the balance of power in the Fakyu cultural circle, which completely made Suffodo unable to curb the rise of Ekosi.
Under the command of the Tijik family, Dodi's army repeatedly crossed the Efanti Pass and went to the territory of Fakyu to stir up trouble, which caused the captain of the Fakyu army to be alarmed three times a day, and many Fakyu nobles began to wonder whether the Frankir siege network had any binding effect on the "evil and barbaric Dodi"?
In 1299 A.D., when there was a dispute over whether to withdraw from the siege, convert to the god of shadows, and become a vassal of Frankil, Ekosi violated Farnier's military regulations and directly sent troops to Farkeyo, establishing Farkeyu as a vassal of Franknir through a military mutiny.
Farnir became a vassal of Farnier, which was crucial to improving the balance of power in Farnier's cultural circle, and since then, Farnier no longer has to worry about being attacked from three sides, and can concentrate more on throwing his power into the east and west.
This bold move made the rise of Ekosi completely uncontrollable, and through various means, stepping on the corpses of countless good and righteous rebels, Ekosi finally got his wish and entered the core ruling power of Frankier, and had the qualifications to touch the supreme power.
(8) Coronation with blood
With the great merit of the last war - even if Dodi released the water, it was a credit - and the merit of making Falkyu a vassal, when Suffordor stepped down in 1310 A.D., there was nothing to stop the villain from becoming the supreme ruler of Frankir.
After Ekosi took office, he abandoned his former Dodi allies and stabbed his former allies.
In 1313 A.D., Ekosi took the initiative to declare war on Dodi, and Frankier's army once again stepped into the western military town, which was once again devastated by the war.
And the upright Fasium, after hearing that Dodi was attacked, despite the terrible situation in the country, did not stick to the alliance set by the god of hunting to support Dodi like Ekosi and Dodi once did. Fasium gritted his teeth from top to bottom, mustered his forces for battle, and launched an offensive at Messis, pinning down part of Farnir's forces from the east.
[This is obvious, if Fasium does not contain Farneil and let Farnir easily destroy Dodi, it will be Fasium's turn next to him, so Fasium has a reason to keep his promise. 】
Dodi, who was attacked by Ekosi, was in a very bad situation at this time.
The righteous god of the hunt could not tolerate the shameless actions of the Tijik patriarch, and would rather fight Dodi's civil war than let Dodi be ruled by such a family.
Dodi's civil war began in 1300 and ended in 1312 with the Tijik family admitting defeat, the shameless patriarch and captain of the Dodi army was ousted, and the new patriarch of the Tigik family postponed the position of captain of the army, ending the 51-year monopoly of the Tijik family on the captain of the Dodi army, and only retaining the territory of the lower Tijik military town.
Obviously, Dodi, who has experienced 12 years of civil war, is so difficult to face Franknier, who has been cultivating for ten years. Despite the best efforts of the Dodi to resist, after 8 years of war, Dodi lost most of the territory of the western military town, leaving only a small part of the southern territory.
With this war as a meritorious achievement, Ekosi was shamelessly complacent, and under Ekosi's control, his courtiers presented him with the title of Frankier's greatest captain.
In 1323 of the Great Calendar, Echoy snatched the title of Fakeu, the great military captain of Fakeu, and said that he was "the great military captain of Fakeu", and his status was higher than that of other great military captains.
Later generations used the year 1323 of the Great Calendar as the dividing line between the early and late classical periods of the Fakyu cultural circle. From this event, it marked the beginning of the Farnier cultural circle from the era of the hegemony of the four countries of Farniu to the era of the hegemony of the four countries of Farnier. Although we want to criticize Ekoshi's personality, we cannot deny that it was this man who propelled Franknier to the pinnacle of power.
Franknier started with betrayal, thrived with betrayal, and eventually declined because of betrayal, and perished because of betrayal. For this country that is inseparable from betrayal, we must keep in mind the lesson, although betrayal may bring temporary benefits, but in the end, it will be more than gain, and after a thousand years, it will definitely be reviled by future generations.
Ekoshi is just a man without talent and virtue, and he was able to get to this point later, in addition to the current situation, there are also factors of courage and luck. It can be seen that if a person wants to succeed, it is also important to have the courage to make big decisions.
However, although Ekoshi climbed to a high position, due to his limited ability, he did not achieve much in the last 6 years of his life, but he was seriously ill and refused to give up his power, and finally died in the position of captain of the army, holding power firmly to the end of his life.
[Ekosi's life is closely related to the unpleasant word betrayal, and he rose through ugly betrayal to inherit Chromie's business. Under his rule, he stabilized the situation within Franknier, and with his keen eye, through several wars, made Franknir the strongest country in the Fakiyou cultural circle, and made a significant contribution to the restoration of production. 】
[In the year 1329 of the Great Calendar, the seriously ill Ekosi took the position of captain of the Flannier army and forced himself to reach his hometown of Black Persia. Judging from his last words, it seems that he wanted to return to the western military town, but he fell seriously ill halfway through, so he had to drop by and return to his former home. In the end, this powerful figure lay on his mother's bed, left his last words, and left this world at the age of 72. 】
