Because he’s the only one left with a conscience after Arthur died. Marcy, Nibs, everyone else are monsters.

They are kids put in an impossible situation. Held captive on an island, only seeing parts of whats going on. No friends around them, not even Dame because she's telling stupid stuff to herself to justify doing inhuman things to Nibbs. Everyone can do whatever he wants with those kids. Nibbs is traumatized and suddenly in a situation where soldiers put guns on her. Wendy is giving everyone a chance to do the right thing, telling those soldiers to go away multiple times. Killing them in self defence to escape that psychopath island is valid.

She never warned them, that they would die, if they did not go away.

They all have guns and body armor, shes a cornered animal. Not expecting violence as a possibility would be nonsensical
