It was pointless to bully a group of imperial civilians who had already chosen to surrender and had no means to resist.
Besides.
Lord Players with an overly strong killing intent were rarely the good sort.
Leaving them in a Lord World that was a "Peace District" was like having a ticking time bomb. You never knew when they might suddenly stir up trouble, forcing all the other Lord Players to pay the price for their recklessness.
Secondly,
in terms of Divine Chosen Spoils,
the empire's citizens were all defenseless, non-combat units.
Even if one were to slaughter them all, it was unlikely they would drop any decent items.
It would be far better to spend that effort on the red-named Mountain Bandits that the Gulad Empire could never deal with, converting the souls of those bandits into Divine Chosen Spoils bestowed by the Deities.
