To be fair, the UJTZE should have barely any soldiers left either, after a long bloody war with almost every nation and a plague on my border where they themselves said most of their soldiers were concentrated. Still true though, I guess.
But I acknowledge that Dale's armies have been wounded too, which is why they are rebuilding and sending supplies and weapons right now instead of directly fighting.
They have lost many soldiers. too many to count. but the few that remain are on the defensive now, defending the scattered forts, Babylon, and the Tower of Zebel
