The only reason why they still target Noah is cause he's weak but knows secrets of Utra that could start both a civil war (secret army of criminals) and a war with the Empire (the inheritance). All that will be fixed if he trades both secrets to ol' Chasing Demon for more benefits. The resources needed to silence Chasing Demon are no less than that required to retake the archipelago, and it's useless cause the Hive can still leak the info, which means those Royals will finally give up if they don't want a war on two fronts.
