Konnichiwa, so I was watching "berserk 97" and this quote happened: "-援軍は？ -ない
敵の夜襲に備える為に他を手薄に出来ないそうだ" I'm very confused about the "他を手薄に出来ない" because "手薄"
is an adjective . I overall think that I get the meaning but I didn't grasp it
at 100%. In my head it translates like :'Because they prepare for a night
attack,they cannot even do insufficient things'. I know it sounds odd but I
would like to have some interpretations. Arigatou !

他を～にできない sentence structure
手薄 refers to a state where human resources, or “hands”, put into something are
scarce or insufficient. 手薄にする means to make such a change that the resulting
state is 手薄.

他を手薄に出来ない in your context means they cannot (afford to) leave other spots
insufficiently guarded.
