Should that happen

Dear friends

Am I right with the following interpretation?

We must protect the village against those people. They are too dangerous and may very well destroy all our work. Should that happen. I'll feel obligated to set up a plan to destroy theirs too.

Should that happen = if that happens.

I wonder if it's idiomatic.

Thank you

Yes, that is right. I would not call it an idiom; it is merely one grammar structure that we use.

How about this? They are to decide who should travel. Should they choose me, I will have to talk with the Dean, as I am not willing to leave the city now.-- Yes, that is fine.
