Actually if Strada gets defeated the rebellion would probably end faster. No one aside from Strada and Ewaldi are capable of fighting off supernatural beings to that level as well as the Exorcists' greatest tool to victory, so if the two of them gets defeated, the Exorcists would have no choice but to surrender since even if they rebel further, they still would lose. Worst of all, they might lose their lives in the process.
