I felt I needed to share this since but I didn't want to spam this on all pages that are relevant to the genocide of the Quagoa.

I thought Ainz Ooal Gown's/Momonga's goal was that his guardians and all NPC's of Nazarick to have more independence? It would make sense in that case that in this case, genocide was a result of that practice. While, Ainz holds most responsibility for this act, it was also Shalltear's as she was the one who committed it in the end. It all depends on their morals and personal views. Shalltear is loyal to Ainz Ooal Gown and even after knowing she betrayed him, she was horrified even though she didn't do it willingly. She was also willing to take any punishment despite Ainz forgiving her knowing she wasn't herself at the time.

Most NPC's of Nazarick have a rather negative and condescending view of lesser races, such as humans. It wouldn't be such a issue for them to slaughter hundreds or thousands of species that mean almost nothing to them. The NPC's extreme devotion and loyalty could mean a problem if they don't successfully think for themselves and their consequences that I think is what happened in Shalltear's case. They take orders from Ainz absolutely serious and perhaps in a literal way as they might only know that there's no other way.

It's interesting that despite Ainz ordering Cocytus to kill all Lizardmen as his punishment for losing a battle, Cocytus saw something in the Lizardmen that made him go against Ainz's orders and save the Lizardmen. Despite being ordered by the absolute ruler and Cocytus master, Ainz and risking being punished ever harsher. Ainz wanted Cocytus to grow, to develop and to be more independent. Not following every order to the letter but to think for themselves what they should or could do.

My point is, genocide is never right. Yes, I take in the factors that the Quagoa was ready to rebel if they found out that Ainz and the Sorcerer Kingdom was weaker than them and they were ready to exterminate the dwarves. While it's not easy to decide which option is best, genocide should be your last option of all. The outcome would probably be different if it wasn't Shalltear who was in charge of Quagoa's surrender and if Ainz phrased his order more clearly. Also, I understand it might've not been possible to subjugate the Quagoa the same way the Lizardmen were.

I am willing to listen to other's opinion and be corrected if I got things wrong.
