"Monster kill count: 29,212"
Just like harvesting chives, the feeble kobolds were dying in droves.
The presence of Red Dragon Hephaestus was overwhelming, especially mixed with the pure dragon aura from his body, which combined was undoubtedly fatal for kobolds who naturally worship giant dragons.
Gauss even suspected that if he had come with a desire for conquest rather than slaughter and adopted a "surrender" strategy, this group of alien race demons might have had a chance of expressing submission to him, someone as pure as a human could get.
At least the lower-tier miner kobolds would likely choose to submit.
After all, even among demons, kobolds are the most fickle bunch.
Though the Demon Lords might disdain their combat abilities, they often spare them due to their mining skills.
Hence, changes in the upper-level masters are a common affair for low-level kobolds.
Unfortunately, Gauss could never become the "Lord" of demons.
Doing so would make him a target for all.
