What are they supposed to do? It's outside Mistral's bordrers for the most part, and they don't have the manpower to scour an entire continent for either Raven or the Nuckaleeve. And I think you're overestimating its size and sound while simultaneiously underestimating how smart the Nuckaleeve was. Also, that was one of the longest fights of the entire series, and the episode it was in was one of the longest in the series. Bitching about it going down in half that time when it lasted longer than some of the earlier episodes is just dumb.

... what exactly would they have done against the Dragon? It took all of them working in concert to take down a Nevermore that was probably half that thing's size. And it wasn't just one Paladin, it was 3 of them, against mostly lower-tier teams, because RWBY were the only ones who learned to actually fucking work as one for some fucking reason by V3.

The Nuckalleve took all of RNJR working in sync to take down. The Sea Dragon literally took a battleship cannon to kill. If Sun and Blake had gone up against that thing without the heavy cannon they'd be dead.
