Caesar plans a new mode of attack on the Gauls and send the architect,
Squareonthehypotenuse (mark the name) who have never tasted the Gaulish tricks
to build modern flats, boastfully dubbed by Caesar as the Mansions of the Gods,
near the Gaulish village of Asterix. As the forest is being cleared of the
trees, much to the anxiety of Dogmatix, Getafix soon uses his magic to get new
trees to go rapidly in the places of the old ones. As the Roman slaves uproot
the trees at night, the druid frustrates their effort at daybreak. This
continues for a while along with more other tricks on the Romans but an
overconfident Getafix soon seems to bring an unwanted threat to the unity of
the Gauls. Then it remains to our little friend and his chubby buddy to set the
things right only at the cost of the suffering of the Roman legionaries.
