Quests like the Magical Department and the Military, etc. are "ongoing" quests. There's more than 1 thing to do for each of them.
The "very weak" thing is indeed a bug, one of which I've reported here and on Steam. It's minor. Just avoid them til later when you've leveled up. Many of the armies you see can be avoided until later when you're more powerful. Expect to be coming back to those areas anyway for future quests.
If your version is on Steam, I've a guide there that will aid you in getting started and some help on knowing what units are better etc.
