This is a type 2 game.
I attacked with Ehud(7/4), choose King Nadab(6/8 with experience credit) to block.
Play Sword against Sword to creat a unnegatable side battle. I use Persian Presidents(3/4) to fight Complainers(6/6)
I play 2 Hamans Plots kill 5 heroes and King Nadab. It was ruled that my opponent could block with a new evil character after the side battle was over because the chose the blocker ability was negated and a new evil character could block.
Complainers ability negates Ehud's ability to chose the Blocker. Does that ability happen in the middle of the side battle? If so dose my opponent also put in a new evil character at that time who I could kill with hamans plot so that I could win the regular battle? If not by killing King Nadab during the side battle would I win the regular battle?
Ehud 7 / 4 • Class: Warrior • Special Ability: Interrupt Wall of Protection and choose a male Evil Character from opponent's territory to block. Ehud has first strike.
Sword against Sword • Special Ability: Select two Evil Characters to fight each other. Cannot be negated if used by a Hero with a Judges reference.
Complainers 6 / 6 • Class: None • Special Ability: Negate all special abilities on opponent’s Heroes. You may exchange a Hero in battle with a Hero in opponent’s territory.

A complicated scenario, but here is my take:
The side battle cannot be negated and must be resolved first. Once the side battle is over and the surviving characters return from whence they came, then the original battle resumes. Complainers' ongoing ability to negate hero SAs now takes effect to negate Ehud's CtB SA, but King Nadab is gone, so the CtB cannot be undone. The result of the side battle cannot be negated, which means the "cascading negate" cannot take place. Ehud wins the battle and the side battle results remain unchanged.

That sounds correct to me.
However, knowing YMT...;)
