I don’t know that there was a winner. I do believe that the invaders had more power over the townspeople. Just because they had the guns, and the soldiers, but like in the book the doctor said “ the flies have conquered the flypaper.” I took that as the flies were the towns people and they were winning. And another quote that hinted the townspeople were winning was when he said "The people don't like to be conquered, sir, and so they will not be. Free men cannot start a war, but once it is started, they can fight on in defeat. Herd men, followers of a leader, cannot do that, and so it is always the herd men who win battles and the free men who win wars. You will find that is so, sir."
I believe that is true because the towns people are fighting for what they truly believe in. They are fighting for their right live. The soldiers on the other hand are just following orders. It doesn’t really mean anything to them besides it’s their duty to follow orders.
