Because CrimeS believes that Ishgar can hold back Alvarez long enough for them to make their entrance? FT believing in Natsu to one-shot Zeref is stupid, CrimeS believing in Ishgar (Fiore, to be more precise) to hold back Alvarez for some time is not. CrimeS has only Jellal who can make a difference in an actual fight against a Shield of Spriggan, but his intelligence would be better employed in preparing a method to kill Zeref, the man CrimeS has researched about for 7 years. They didn't just start their studies after this war, y'know. .-.
