The Moon Is Down: Who won and who lost in the story?

I really like the ending of the story. The way the people never give up secretly and how the mayor puts it in Lancer's face that they lost no matter what happens to himself. My favorite part was the way he resites from Socrates and Lancer is there listening to his speech of honorable death. The conquered people definately won with the spirit of liberty and the boost of bravery from the mayor. I really liked how this story got you to think and imagine the scene yourself. I wonder with the great loss of the conquerers what they are going to do. Will they still try to fight after their epic fail or will they report to their leader of the failure in the little coal mine town? I am glad the townspeople stood up for their rights! It put a smile on my face as I read the last chapter. This gives me the courage to fight back if my town was ever invaded.
