Before I get to my point, that phrasing and grammar are confusing.

Well they were pretty much out of assets that could take out the dragon. Between the hacking and downing of the Atlesian airships and gunships, the hacking and shutdown of ground armor/weapons platforms, the nerfing of Coco's beautiful gun, and Penny's rather unfortunate destruction, they didn't really have a lot of options that would have done more than annoy the dragon without a (very) long, costly battle.

On top of that, the dragon was a mobile spawning pit, capable of producing reinforcements throughout the battle, meaning that getting to it or maintaining a steady stream of fire would be a little difficult without at least getting some scars. There's also all the civilians and infrastructure they had to protect. It's a little hard to focus your efforts on killing an unprecedented dragon when the Kingdom's civilians are being menaced by hell beasts.
