While I absolutely do not deny Sirion provided the bulk of military power, and the war could've never been won without them, Sirion was never alone in putting Atanamir and Perdan out of the fight, or fighting Westmoor. Furthermore, Perdan wasn't out of the fight before Westmoor. We killed Westmoor (begrudgingly, offering them to please stop their foolish war against us, to no avail), and then fought Perdan to a surrender (which they then proceeded to violate sometime later).
You are getting confused. He is talking about the time when he was the PM. This is before the creation of Perleone when Eponllyn still had lands in south....
Only reason why Perdan stopped fighting Sirion back then was not because Erik took them out of the war. It was because Perdan was busy fighting Armonia, Caligus and Eponllyn all at once. Erik actually became unpopular because he was getting too friendly with Atanamir and even signed a peace treaty which people were unhappy about. And of course I won the following election by criticizing Erik heavily on his 'achievement' which worked (Zakilevo got 100 votes while Erik got 46).
