the fact is Fleshlumpeater didn't kill the army despite having all the power to do so, just tried to scare them off.. he only tried to kill BFG after BFG provoked him and he gave up on killing BFG rather quickly to hunt Sophie (as it was instinctual to hunt "prey").

Fleshlumpeater was also geniunely confused and angry at BFG's "betrayal", which means that while a horrible and violent brute of a monster Fleshlumpeater does work on some primitive "honor" system.. for a Giant.

Plus book version is far worse than movie version as book version went on a rampage to try and kill/eat the army in the book.. in movie (as I mentioned) he spared the army despite having ALL the power to kill them.. instead he wanted answers from BFG as to *why* he "betrayed" the Giants.
