وَلِهَذَا أَجَابَ مُعَاوِنُ الشَّرْعِ بِالْتَغْرِيبِ وَالْتَرْهِيبِ يَقْوَى جُنْدُ الْعَقْلِ
For this reason an assistant of the Shari'a replied: By alienation and intimidation the forces of reason become stronger.
جُنْدُ — forces. A collective noun ('host/forces') serving as the subject of the verb before it, which is why it carries the nominative ending. It also heads an 'of' pairing with the next word, so it gives up its own 'the' and draws definiteness from 'reason'.
