Just finished the game for the first time; and I didn't have any problem with the escort mission even though I was playing on the hardest difficulty available to me. I did notice that the armor I was wearing at the end of ED was in my inventory when I took dragon shape, and quickly swapped out the junk I started the scenario with. I think the +40% Offensive and +40% Mana helped quite a bit.
Otherwise I just flew ahead of the Zeppelin with right click and destroyed all the buildings. I didn't bother with the flying enemies and just let the Zeppelin kill them. By the end the Zeppelin was only down to about 70% and I never paid it any attention at all. I didn't even notice I had a new skill called Bombardment until the very end and I never used it once. I also never used Wyvern Friend.
Trick seemed to be A) Use right click to get to those enemy towers ASAP, don't wait for the Zeppelin even if it complains about getting to far ahead. B) One fire sphere while you are closing on a ballista + Fire Breath destroys a ballista in about a second.
