I make a rescue attempt with Ashael and I choose Babylonian Forces to block. Since Bab forces negates Special Abilities on red heroes, does my opponent get to block with a different EC?

CTB is effectively CBI.  So you could use Ehud to choose KoT, and that'd be that.

Everyone is correct with one caveat. Pre-block CTB is CBI. If you attack with Joseph, get blocked by someone, then play Obedience of Noah, they can negate it.
