Ok you have 2.5 orcs full elite and land defence....

48000 defence on faeries

6600 offence on your orcs

These 2 provinces are same NW the fairy quad taps the orcs and has say 44000 defense home to defend. For the same reason you don't go into war full elite and zero defense is why its better. More and more orcs are getting chained those fairys are not running out food.
