I agree. The "X" could be marking the places they are done with and beacon is the big prize. Maybe Roman is collecting something and Beacon has a lot of that, that's why he said "we are gonna need more men". If he's aiming for Beacon, he must have a secret weapon, he saw how a little girl crushed his men and now he's aiming for a hunters nest.

Or maybe Roman is collecting dust to power up his secret weapon and then he'll attack beacon in order to get something from it. I wouldn't be surprised if Beacon is just a vault for something powerful enough to conquer the world.
