As Diana had predicted, Lin Zhen's avatar was currently in the Dimensional Universe, preparing to apply for lordship.
The best way for him to drive Empire forces out of Earth was to become a lord himself.
According to the Empire's laws, nobility could obtain territories as long as they pay a hefty fee.
A knight could claim a planet as territory, while a baron could be granted a small asteroid system.
The territory of a viscount is determined by star miles; the maximum range for a viscount's territory is a side length of 100,000 star miles.
The territory of an earl is much larger, ranging from one million to ten million star miles in side length. If you pay less, you receive the minimum standard; if you are willing to pay a lot of money, then a side length of ten million star miles can be approved.
Ten million star miles is basically equivalent to one light-year.
