If it wasn't for Ironwood's fleet keeping the aerial Grimm busy, they would've focused on the ships. Ships filled with scared people. People among which only a handful would actually be able to fight the Grimm, assuming they are able to fight a horde of flying enemies on board a relatively-small ship without falling off.

Not to mention, without Ironwood's fleet and army present, the Grimm, both the ones drawn to Vale and the ones snucked-in by the WF, would've ravaged the people much more easily, and likely destroyed their only way to get to ground safely.

Remember that the AKs were only hacked long after everyone actually managed to get on the ships to escape from Amity. Without the AKs they wouldn't have even gotten that far.
