The soldiers of the Eastern Kingdom were generally frail, although their frames were larger. The long years of war had left visible impacts on this nation, and the malnutrition was apparent enough to make their uniforms appear a size too large. Fortunately, the Eastern Kingdom, no matter how cold it got, was still somewhat warmer than the Northern Kingdom. Moreover, it was now the transition between spring and summer, so what this land lacked most was still food.
Of course, what Malin saw here was just a shortage, at least he didn't encounter the situation of finding bread mixed with sand. Although the lack of meat made the soldiers' meal boxes look a bit bleak, they still had some substance in them. Moreover, this was the second-line rear. Malin only hoped that the front-line soldiers could eat a bit better.
