Fighting Gazef in a proper solo PVP duel isn't abandoning Ainz's morals. While there was nothing at all to be done about the raw level difference, he even verified that Gazef had at least the theoretical possibility of winning.

Gazef is the one closer to abandoning his morals by refusing to take Ainz's offer to stop the massacre in exchange for his service. It's incomprehensible by ordinary morality, he's very right to call it a selfish whim, even if it is an admirable one.

Ainz admires his determination to give his life to the service of the King, even if it makes no sense and is actually hurting the Kingdom (which it is), and calls off the massacre even without gaining anything in return.

If Gazef were determined to serve the Kingdom rather than suck up to a King who was no longer capable of making proper decisions he could have prioritized making contact with AOG and minimizing the scale of military disaster necessary to end the war.

As long as enough damage was inflicted on the nobles, Renner wouldn't have stopped him.
