Egyptian Archer:
May band to any Egyptian.  May discard any Hero in a territory but then discard Egyptian Archer at end of battle.

Battle Cry:
Interrupt the battle and band into battle as many Heroes from holder's territory as holder chooses.

Scenerio:

Red Hero makes a R/A. EA blocks and picks a Hero to discard in territory. Can Red Hero play Battle Cry and pick that Hero targeted for discard to band into battle? Or is the Hero in territory already discarded and cannot be targeted for banding into battle?

No, Battle Cry would not interrupt the Archer's ability to discard the Hero in territory because it's not ongoing or causing a character in battle to lose.

ITB, from the REG:

‘Interrupt the battle’ interrupts all active ongoing abilities on characters and enhancements (e.g. Red Dragon), abilities that are causing you to lose the battle by removal (e.g. King Zimri), as well as the last enhancement played in the current battle if it was played by your opponent.

If you interrupted and then negated all SA 's and made it FBTN, then the Hero wouldn't be discarded
