Not "and wealth".

The king's greatness and fame scares off attackers (and scufflaws, but
none of the rishonim I mentioned discuss that). That's the preemptive
attack where the threat is not immediate.

You're assuming an association that isn't explicitly made, and in doing
so arguing with halakhah pesuqah.
