be funny if he brings his brother son to his side

If the town isn't there after the MC returns, then the king fucked up. The town is the MC's biggest asset at the moment, but whatever he gains through the war is his to keep. This includes any potential cities or fortresses he conquers. The only reason why the border town is important here is because the MC is fond of it. Destroying the town while he is away fighting the war would only needlessly aggravate the MC. Admittedly, it's pretty clear he's already setting up against the crown, but such an act would utterly eradicate any slight chance of amicable co-existence that remains.

I expected someone to say this, and you're even admitting yourself, hes already hostile.

The only reason to keep the town would be to get into a schemes war with MC to try and drain him dry using the town as a hostage.
Lets be honest, no way this king would have a shot at winning such a fight, letting MC go away as far as possible with as little contact as possible has to be better than such a confrontation.

Also if MC only has the conquered land, you could say that he's outside the range of clause 1, allowing the king to straight up attack him since hes outside the borders of the kingdom depending on how you spin it.
Well you could do the same with the town but that would be far less convincing.

He's already hostile, but it's not to the point of overt action. As it is now, there is a chance, small as it is, to cool the temperature. Destroying the town will guarantee retaliation. And yes, he would have no chance winning a drawn out fight. However, judging from the fact that the MC alone is apparently their only hope of holding off the empire, a direct conflict is just as hopeless. The king's sole path forward is making amends with the MC, but we all know that he would never do such a thing.

Fair to say, I think we both can agree that the king really screwed himself over, no matter what he does from hereon out. I just hope that the rest of the nobility have enough sense to realize how stupid antagonizing the sole chosen champion of their kingdom truly is.
