Do each quest several times until you fill up the green influence bar on the left side of the quest.
Gaining influence - In later stages, you will need to equip the proper general to earn influence and progress in a quest. On the left side of each quest is a picture of the general that you have to equip before undertaking that quest. To equip a general, click on the large portrait on the top right of the screen currently set to your active general. From there, click a general to equip.
Unlocking other stages - The other stages of the game are "Land of Earth", "Land of Mist" and "Land of Water".

If you have completed the requirements, the stage icons will be shown as unlocked and colored. You can click the image of the stage, such as "Land of Earth", to list the quests for that stage.
Battles
Fight other online players through the Battle system. There are two options for battling, invading and duels.
Invading - Invading will attack the opposing player with your whole army. One soldier, one item, and one magic spell are used to the fight for each army member you have. For every 5 army members you have, one of your generals will also join the fight. Invading favors players with a large army count, and an even distribution of items, soldiers and number of generals. Your attack and defense stats may also drastically affect the battle.
Dueling - Duels pit your active general against the opposing player's active general. Equip your best general to duel. Duels favor players that invest in a few, but high quality equipment, a better active general. Your attack and defense stats will greatly affect battles.

Black Smith - Vulcan the blacksmith can forge some higher quality equipment than what your soldiers normally use. His services are somewhat expensive however, and are best used to equip your generals for duels when you are at a lower level. Only one item is equipped per soldier during Invading. The game will automatically choose the highest defense items to use for defending, and the highest attack items for attacking.
Magic - Magic spells can only be obtained through questing. This page allows you to view the magic spells that you have acquired. There will be more quests to obtain spells from in the future.
