And now we know that the plan was not just to break down the CCT tower and occupy Beacon to prevent recronstruction of the tower, but also possibly to occupy Beacon in search of the relic. Purely FWIW, I can 't help but wonder if Salem kept that particular card close to her chest - Cinder probably didn't know about the relic, mostly because Salem coudln't trust her not to take it for herself, given her lust for power and notoriety.

That aside, destroying Beacon and cutting off that paricular limb of the Huntsman Order was always likely an objective all of its' own. Just as Haven (but not Mistral itself) is the League of Evil's next target.
