135 I Have to Recruit a Secretary

While those tens of figures were collecting equipment at the desolate battleground, two nearby Gnomes and three Goblins charged at them.

When Arthur and his team got too close to them, the figures fled while carrying a handful of equipment, which emitted clanking sounds. A few pieces of equipment dropped to the ground and made "Pom pom" sounds.

The dropped equipment tripped one of the figures, who fell to the ground and made a "Ka Cha" sound. Then he remained motionless.

Arthur charged forward and raised his Short Sword to stab the fallen figure to death.

When Arthur saw the face of the figure, he was stunned.

It was a pile of scattered Skeletons.

…

"Gosh… where's our equipment?"

TakeASpearHit looked at the empty space in front of him. Besides the bloodstains that indicated a prior battle, the corpses, armor, and weapons were missing.

Were they taken? Stolen? The monsters did it? The game system refreshed the area?
