King Torture's monsters always have some soldiers alongside them.

When the monsters are defeated, they scream "Viva Torture!" and explode. The soldiers, however, have been seen lying defeated on the floor even after a monster's explosion:

Do they also explode and vanish after being defeated?  
Or have they been being taken into custody for questioning or something of the sort?  
Or are they somehow able to get away?
