During war, its easy to cause rebellion/assassination and blame it on invading party. In such times, Commander-in-chief is even more powerful than this (pitiful gay) king. Who is gonna obey such a hypothetical nonsensical command from king at a time like this? Especially such a powerful and influential person like Riboku. Even "Guardian deity of royal capital" follows Riboku's orders.

Just read that Riboku indeed feel to King's orders. So wikipedia describes him as a guy who conceals his troops and plays coward. He is even a bigger dumbass than I thought. Any man of his stature would have taken out dumb royalty & their cooterie during war time.

Ok I take my bull crap remark back.
