Alexios opted to stay in Edirne, shouldering the responsibility of overseeing the post-conquest transition. He was pivotal in establishing the new regime and spearheading the overhaul of infrastructure, transforming Edirne into a strategic frontier and crucial supply hub for Antonius and his loyalists.
