Question #1: What happened to the saved slaves from the bandit camp earlier when Belial is still on his way to his fief Agmanac from the capital Marseilles of Valois Kingdom (Chapter 12: End of Doubt)?
Answer: The Elven Princess Elfina returned to her mother, Queen Anuriel, in their kingdom of Elvengard. She is currently the ambassador of the Elves to Agmanac. The Red Fox Chieftain Feruna is currently on the Great Expanse, a desert far away from Valois. It is there that the nomadic tribes of beastmen are located. She is on her way to the kingdom of Nairobi to have a talk with the Beast Warlord. As for the others, they are maids in the palace. Some went with Elfina and Feruna while the rest stayed in Agmanac. They man the kitchens. The children are also taught to be butlers and maids. They are also taught how to fight, read and write. This events will be mentioned in a later chapter.
Question #2: What happened to the saved victims of maltreatment in the castle dungeons of Chernobog Citadel (Chapter 15: Rage and Retribution)?
Answer: Same answer to what happened to the slave children in question 1. They are now servants serving the citadel. Their leader, the blonde little girl I named Madeline, is now the personal maid of Belial. She will make an appearance in a later chapter.
Question #3: How big is the land area of Agmanac and how big is its population?
Answer: Agmanac is roughly the same size as modern-day Austria. As for it's population, it is estimated to be about 9 million people.
Question #3: How big is Belial's conquered Margraviate of Ceawin and its population?
Answer: This is a big catch. Ceawin is actually bigger than Agmanac. It has wide plains and rough mountains which are perfect for grain production and metal mining. It's size is roughly the same as the former country of Czechoslovakia. And had an estimated population of around 15 million people.

Question #4: How could you have Belial and his army kill 15 million people?
Answer: They didn't. Some have escaped Ceawin long before Belial's army marched towards Dunstanburg. The estimated death toll of Belial's conquest was roughly around 8 million including the fallen Southern Imperial Army with 2 million soldiers. Even in real warfare, you cannot wipe out every single denizen of an enemy country. There are those that are bound to escape.
Question #5: How the heck did Belial's army move so fast? I mean, they numbered 700 thousand. Even if they are demons, Ceawin who with a size almost the same the Czechoslovakia, couldn't possibly be traversed in just a few weeks so how did they do it?
Answer: Quite simple yet complicated as well. In this question, I will introduced Bathin. He is a demon that is mentioned in Ars Goetia in the Lesser Key of Solomon, Lemegetton. He is a demon who could teleport anyone from one country to another. He can also create astral projections and has knowledge about herbs and potions. Now, I kinda used the same concept to all of the men (or demons) under him whom he is in control(the other one is Belial). He has 36 legions of demons which in my storyand they all have the same powers as Bathin, albeit weaker. They are the main reason why the soldiers of Belial could travel great distances in such short time periods.
Question #6: How come Heaven still haven't 'seen' Belial even after all that he had done?
Answer: Because of Glasya-Lebolas, seconded by Paimon and Gremory. As the latter two can see and predict the future, they can predict what decisions and actions Belial would make though not everything. As such, when they see something in the future concerning Belial, they seek Glasya for help. She is a demon in Ars Goetia that can make people invicible, not just physically but in every aspect. Meaning, she can make your entire existence invisible to other's eyes. This is enough for Heaven to be blind of what Belial is doing on Earth.

Question #7: How could the empire mobilized 15 million soldiers? That is just... simply impossible.
Answer: This is something even I am wondering myself. But by doing some calculations and a bit of planning, I find it plausible BUT not in one place. The Northern Imperial Army that is composed of 2 million men, left the north while leaving behind some 500 thousand of their troops to man the northern garrisons. The Western Imperial Army who is at war with the elves are also pulled out, with 4 million being recalled while they leave behind 500 thousand to defend the west. The Eastern Imperial Army who had the largest numbers due to the constant clashes with the dwarves left the east, carrying with them some 6 million men and leaving around 600 thousand to defend the east. The Luxum Empire had an army of 20 million with 5 million reserves. The Imperial Capital have roughly 2 million soldiers and with the help of the nearby nobles, the numbers can be pumped up to 3 million. Now, how did those numbers came to be. I will just give you all a rough explanation as the structure of the empire will be explained in the later chapters. The armies are not all under the emperor's rule. They are comprised of many private armies of the nobles near the place they are garrisoned. They are also the people that supplied food and resources for the soldiers. And not all the time are the soldiers on soldier duty. They are also masons, carpenters, miners, farmers, hunters and herders that helps the economies of the places they are stationed. Now, lets talk of mobilization. The empire has around 120 million people and this is a pseudo-medieval setting so 20-30% of that population are soldiers. So in that sense, you can already see that mobilization is possible. Besides, when you say "The eastern army" or any directional army doesn't mean that they are concentrated on just one place. Naturally, there are those near to the capital and those that are far. A border army is stretched, not piled in a single place.
Question #8: How did Gaap's fleet became semi-metallic? Didn't you say they are frigate and galleon-types? How could ships from the Age of Exploration carry destroyer batteries?
Answer: They upgraded it in Dya Ntotila. It will be further explained in a later chapter.
Question #9: Where did Belial get an additional 8 million soldiers? Did he summon them?
Question #10: Won't the angels and the church know that Belial had undead soldiers?
Answer: Runes and spells that block of undead aura. It will be explained in a later chapter.
