"Do you still have the time to worry about them? We're the ones we should be worrying about now," Sylvanas said. "We don't know how the orcs got into Quel'Thalas, or how many of them came. That leaves us at a serious disadvantage."
"Individual orcs are extremely powerful, especially in melee combat. We can barely stand up to them at close quarters," Alleria said worriedly. "Every nation in the Alliance is throwing everything it has into resisting the orcs. The humans certainly won't be able to spare troops to help us. We can only rely on ourselves."
"Exactly! And that's not all!" Sylvanas said. "What worries me even more is that the combined orc and troll army might break through our defensive lines too quickly. If we can't evacuate everyone in time, a lot of civilians will die in the fighting."
"Yes, our Steel Torrent hasn't been formed yet, and those little piglets haven't grown up. Otherwise, we might have a fighting chance against the orcs. But right now, things really are difficult." Alleria was troubled too.
"How many troops do we currently have in the southern Eversong Woods?" Yu Lin Bloodhawk also found the situation daunting, but he still wanted to understand exactly what fighting strength the elves had available.
"A United Burning Legion made up of the Farstriders and the Sunbloom Burning Legion is stationed in the eastern Southern Eversong Woods. To the southeast, another United Burning Legion, made up of our Windrunner Burning Legion and the Golden Mist Burning Legion, holds the defenses," Sylvanas said. "That gives us four legions on the front lines. In the rear, the Tranquillien Burning Legion is permanently stationed in Tranquillien, serving as both our reserve and our logistics corps. Across the entire Southern Eversong Woods, we have thirty thousand rangers."
