Having to face 5 dragons might be too much for them because their ship would easily be destroyed by the approaching dragons.
Even the vampire princess had no experience in combat against a dragon. The same as the other members of Vanguard.
Compared to them, the dragon riders had experience in defeating vampires. And they have vanquished a lot of them.
