Protagonist:
Lin En

Just as Lin En and Dominic were each making their own plans, and undercurrents surged within Brevis, tens of billions of kilometers away lay the Dolido Agricultural World.
A round, riddled scrap-iron starship — if it could even be called a starship.
It shuddered through the atmosphere, wreathed in roaring flames, and slammed headfirst into a dense mushroom forest.
"Boom—!"
The tremendous impact was deafening; smoke and dust billowed into the sky.
Countless mushrooms were blown away by the shockwave, green spores dancing through the air.
The starship's hatch was kicked open from inside with a deafening "Clang!"
Yaduoduo was the first to jump out of the starship.
He landed heavily on the ground, his feet sinking into the soft soil.
A breath of fresh air, carrying the scent of earth and mushrooms, instantly rushed into his nasal cavity.
Yaduoduo took a deep, greedy breath, somewhat intoxicated.
So this is real... air?
Warm, life-bearing air?
Not the recycled air on Kal II, thick with the stench of machine oil, rust, and blood.
He raised his head, looking toward the sky.
An azure sky, pure white clouds, warm sunlight falling on his body, cozy and warm.
He stretched out his hand, feeling the genuine gravity, feeling the sensation of wind brushing across his cheeks.
Yaduoduo's eyes grew somewhat moist.
Since birth, he had grown up on the drifting Sikug Ranch.
He had never seen a blue sky, never seen white clouds, never felt sunlight, never breathed real air.
On Kal II, the sky was forever a pitch-black starfield, the air forever turbid recycled gas, the ground beneath his feet forever cold, hard alloy decking.
He had originally thought the whole world was just like that.
Until today, he finally knew the world could be this beautiful.
So feet can tread on soft soil, so wind can blow on the face, so sunlight can be this warm.
"Wow! So this is Dolido? It's so waaagh!"
"Heavens! Are those clouds? So white!"
"I can feel the wind! The wind is blowing me!"
The remnants of the Fire Shadow Clan jumped out of the starship one by one.
Like a bunch of country kids entering a city for the first time, they shouted excitedly.
Rolling on the grass, running through the mushroom forest, experiencing this real, beautiful planet.
The vast majority of them, like Yaduoduo, had spent their entire lives inside the steel cage of Kal II.
To them, Dolido was merely a legendary place.
Now, they had finally arrived here.
Yaduoduo looked at everything before him, clenching his fists.
In his heart surged an unprecedented desire.
He would make something of himself.
He would become strong.
He would possess all of this.
In this world, there were still far, far too many things he had never experienced.
He could no longer be like before, just a grot who only knew how to scavenge debris.
He would become a Green-skinned Warlord like Big Boss Lianggenna, have his own planet, his own army, his own Scrap Pot!
One day, he would return to Kal II, openly defeat one-versus-seven, and take back everything that belonged to him!
Just then, a disordered sound of footsteps approached.
A group of Green Skin Kids wearing yellow-and-black checkered armor, wielding machetes and Da Ba Bas, emerged from the mushroom forest.
They were the Mozu Clan's Patrol Team; the crash just now had alerted them.
The Big Guy at the lead, shouldering a massive Power Axe, roared at Yaduoduo:
"Oi! Where are you lot from?"
"Which clan? How'd you fall out of the sky?"
Yaduoduo instantly hid the excitement on his face, plastering on a fawning smile.
He stepped forward quickly and bowed deeply to that Big Guy.
"Big Brother, don't misunderstand, we have no hostile intent." Yaduoduo said with a smile.
"We come from Kal II, we're here to deliver a message!"
"Deliver a message?" The Big Guy frowned, sizing Yaduoduo up and down.
For a moment he couldn't quite tell whether this was a Green Skin or a grot.
As a Grot, isn't his build way too large, about the same as a regular Grot.
But he looks exactly like a Grot.
"Kal II? Reporting what news?"
"Big trouble!" Yaduoduo put on an anxious expression.
"Kal II has been captured by Shrimp, Big Boss Sisi and Big Boss Chandler, both died in battle!"
"We barely managed to escape, we have to hurry and tell Big Boss Lianggenna this news!"
"Kal II captured by Shrimp? Sisi and Chandler both dead?"
The Mozu Clan patrol Big Guy's Power Axe "clanged" into the mud, shaking Mushroom Spores flying all around the Surroundings.
His eyes bulged round, first scanning Yaduoduo up and down suspiciously several times.
【69】 Then he turned his head to look at that wrecked iron spaceship still billowing Black Smoke in the distance, half-buried in the Mushroom Forest.
He turned his head again to look at that wrecked iron airship still billowing Black Smoke in the distance, half its hull buried in the Shugumu Lin.
Finally his gaze landed on that group of ragged Naruto kids with lingering fear still on their faces.
Green Skins mostly don't lie, but Green Skins make up tall tales.
But the Fear in these kids' eyes isn't faked, and that broken ship isn't something that could be forged on the spot.
Kal II hasn't sent any news for nearly a week, this matter was already somewhat suspicious.
"Alright, come with me." The Big Guy scratched his bald green head, hoisted his Power Axe again and turned to leave.
"Count yourselves lucky, you caught Big Boss Lianggenna eating his third lunch."
"If it had been during breakfast and someone dared disturb him, just wait to be chopped into pieces and fed to Squigs."
Seeing there was hope, Yaduoduo hurriedly called his subordinates to follow, footsteps light and quick.
If Duli's Green Skins don't accept them, then it's game over.
Passing through the dense giant Mushroom Forest, the view suddenly opened up.
Endless fields filled with various colored Mushrooms and tubers, countless Green Skin Kids shirtless working in the fields.
They're picking Mushrooms, or chasing randomly running Squigs, and Big Iron Pots stewing Stew Pot everywhere.
The aroma of Stew Pot mixed with the fresh fragrance of Mushrooms in the air.
Noisy shouts everywhere, vigorous vitality almost overflowing.
This is Duli.
Completely different from Kal II's eternally cold steel cage permeated with machine oil and Blood Taste, this is the Green Skins' true Homeland.
Walked about half an hour, a building like a small mountain appeared on the horizon.
It was originally Duli's largest central grain Reserve Warehouse, sixty meters high, covering the area of several hundred football fields.
Now it has been completely transformed into Lianggenna's Palace, heavy alloy outer walls painted with crooked yellow-black graffiti.
Depicting grinning Green Skin portraits and huge "WAAAGH!" lettering.
The original blast-proof Door was removed, replaced with an archway pieced together from Mammoth ribs and Empire Tank Armor.
At the Doorway stood two rows of Mozu Kids over three meters tall, each holding Heavy Big Boom Guns, protruding Big Stomachs, eyes fierce enough to eat people.
Walking into the Palace interior made Yaduoduo gasp in shock.
The spacious Warehouse Hall had no partitions, the Ground piled with all kinds of spoils of war.
Dismounted Light Spear Giant Cannons, flags embroidered with Noble Coats of Arms, twisted Mecha wreckage, and piles of human skulls like mountains.
In the Corner, dozens of Grots wielding whips driving a group of fat Squigs, making them jump into Scrap Pots themselves.
And in the very center of the entire Hall is the most waaaagh Green Skin in the entire Kalixis Star System.
Big Stomach Liang Ge Na's Throne.
